M42 head
« on: April 05, 2013, 03:00:06 PM »
For sale is the cylinder head off my old engine. Has 188k, engine was pulled due to being too leaky and finding a non leaky, lower miles engine that was cheaper then gaskets.
Engine ran excellent, and for the almost 10,000 miles that i ran it, the temp guage never got above half way. Valvetrain wasn't noisy either, but wasnt silent. The only problem with the head is that a thermostat housing bolt is broke off while pulling the head. There is still a little bolt sticking out. I do not think that it will be hard to extract, i just dont have the tools. $175 + shipping OBO Im located in NE PA

I might be interested in those sensors on the side.  I know one is a coolant temp sensor, but what is the other?  I am in the process of rebuilding my engine.

Pretty sure they are both coolant temp sensors, one for the ECU, and one for the gauge. Someone correct me if i am wrong please.

Yea I may take those off if you want to part it out on those.  Do you know if they were both in working condition?
