From memory, U dont have to take the camshaft out (but I'm running off an old, faded memory)
As far as replacing the head,it really comes down to the price of repairing the current head compared to replacing it...me personally, it repair the original head

I doubt they go for more than scrap tbh.....there was never really anything rare, special or limited about them (apart from the handful of DOHC heads that were made in Japan.)

Re: Thinking of 4g52
I didnt think the size of the combustion chamber Had a direct effect on the compression...that usually deck height and piston design.......Astron I '54's run dished pistons whereas the Astron II '54 has flat-top pistons, squaring off the deck and increasing compression

What about looking at something "outside the box" (pun not intended)
Getting a complete disc to disc rear-end from a smaller car.....say a base model impreza...what about an E30 BMW? (I'm not sure if these cars have IRS or not...more merely a suggestion)

Re: Tech question. Why dont exaust valve stems run dry/coke
Ever thought of it to be honest I'm not sure of the answer but if I was to take a guess (and I emphasise the word "guess" ) I'd say 1) it is possible that the exhaust valves have gone through some form of hardening process to tolerate the heat of the burnt gases 2) some form of chemical re...
