Is this the right head....

...for a KZN130?

Clickety-click.

[TonyN]

yup.

Is it me or is that bl00dy cheap!!! I have just paid twice the price from the Engine Company!!! Then again is this a genuine, brand new head?

Cheers, Nick

I've only ever used one cheap ebay head, and it was warped out the box. Got replaced ok by supplier, but I can't take the risk or need the hassle when its other peoples trucks.

They are cheap, with all that entails good and bad.....

Glad I got mine from Steve then

Yeah, this is what I was thinking.

Stockport, here we come...(and £1150.00 + VAT, here we go )

Nowhere near that!!!! Steve will supply a brand new 2.4 head and everything else you need for £675 inc vat and p&p! Look here http://www.hiluxsurf.co.uk/members_p...evo/index.html

Hmmm...I've updated my profile.

It's £1150 + VAT for Stevo to supply and fit a 3.0 head.

Having said that, how easy is it to change the head? If it's JUST a case of undoing a load of nuts, lift off old, place on new, and tighten said nuts I might consider it. It's not, though, is it?

I've done an engine change before, but never a cylinder head, so excuse my ignorance.

It's not difficult to be honest. I have almost completed my 3.0 head change and it's very straight forward. Although I have done many engines/heads before, I had never done a Surf, and cos every engine has it's own issues, I asked on this forum and as usual plenty of people came back with good advice.

Just take your time, and if you haven't got a workshop manual, make sure you make a note of what goes where. Also, you will probably need a second pair of hands to help lift the head on and off - unless you have a hoist! If you get stuck, then ask
