I’m currently rebuilding a 4G63 out of an 86 Mitsu MM. Took the head to have it checked and it’s had work done before and currently has a crack. Machine shop suggested a new head rather than repair this one again. Having a hard time finding a head. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also looking for a grill for the truck. Thanks in advance.

It seems like this guy has 2.0 head for sale here in NY, or at least that's what it looks like.Quote:

The ad keeps getting reposted, so he'd probably take a low ball offer at this point, although you would have to convince him to ship it to you.
Doesn't hurt to ask, but don't wait too long, the ad will probably expire soon judging from the date of it. Good luck

Hard to say whether or not you should proceed in having it repaired again. Thee can be big differences between shops and opinions, and how repairs are carried out. If the head has been milled true in the past instead of putting it through an oven and being pressed straight first - toss it. This is a bad way to recon a head and can lead to cam journal damage and messes with CR's. Check ebay or other online suppliers for a complete head. They should actually be better quality than the original factory 2.0 heads (if it's anything like the one I pulled from my old engine :shakehead:)
Thanks for the replies.
Odessa on eBay (clearwater heads) carries replacement new heads for the 2.0 to 1989. Good quality - you may have to contact them directly as they don't always post the 2.0 head for some reason.

They will accept a cracked head.
