Hi guys,

is it serious enough to worry about or should i just swap the good bits off the original head?

Cheers

Im gunna the rust is no good. I take it they are 2nd gen. I have a set of 3rd gen heads here if you need..

Thanks
Jason

its a second gen astron head but its for my first gen, im gona get my mechanic to suss it out and see whether its good or not :(

thats just surface rust

the rockers just need to be taken off the shafts carefully

and given a good clean with stuff and wet and dry paper
then clear the oil galleries

(as you take them off dont mix up the order of the rockers)

thanks buffy!

got word from the machiners today that it would need to be serviced which will cost me around $450 so im just going to use my original and try and get my money back on the head.
