Watch what you buy - Cracked Head
I recently bought a used S2000 head from a member on the "For Sale" forum for $400. Thought I got a good buy. Sent it off to Joe Alaniz for him to perform his magic. He called me a few days back with some bad news. After a hot tank cleaning, he discovered the following:
What a bummer. Well, thats a $400 lesson learned. So all you shoppers out there, be careful as to what you send your hard earned $ out for. All is not lost for me though. A quick call to Hardtopguy has a new bare head on its way to Alanis.

Is there even a remote chance the seller was unaware? Or was this an intentional effort to screw you?

There is more of a story behind that Cylinder head than meets the eye. I had to have been off the car at least once to be milled, Most likely due to behing warped from severe overheating. I also find it strange the cracks are in the front chain case area. This is where the Vortech SC mounts one of the SC brackets.
