That's an amazing price. For a proper head job it's about 1000$ locally, depends where you go. Then shaving the head is more, etc. The crower springs and retainers are worth a good penny as well.
850$US..ship it to Dansmurf or something and go pick it up..that's only about $1150 CDN. CTZX3 is a good guy too...
Sounds like a great option. :D

From what I read dansmurf is moving to Nashville in the next couple of weeks I dont think you could do that unless you want to drive all the way down there.
I drive a 2010 Golf that growls at people when it goes over 3000rpm.

Call Mississauga Engines. They do Joe Conde's (Altech) heads for his H22 all motor CRX. These guys know their stuff. You could also call Sean Hyland Motorsport, but I am more familiar with Caesar at Mississauga.

The only thing, as we've seen with Focus Sport of the other Focus companies, it's not the same as other engines....you can't just go and hog out the ports.
i know Sauga engines is really good..but how much Focus experience do they have?
I dunno..just a thought.

Sean Hyland... maybe if you get the head job there, they can make that valve cover fit too.
I'm sure they would do good work, but man, you'd be paying BIG money to tear them away from their mustang business.

One for my dog.
One that has no roof.
One that looks good parked at the golf course.
One that is being rebuilt by a guy named Nero..... will it ever be done?

ever seen caesar work on a head?
I watched him work on a friend of mines...
scarey...thats all I have to say, as he scratched the s**t out of the heads sealing surface trying to remove a sensor from the head, then almost dropped the head on the floor.
plus as he removed the valves, he just let the keepers lie where they fell....and these were expensive crower keepers, and he didnt seem to care if the parts went back into the cylinder they were removed from. I find that sloppy, I am very picky about cleanliness, and organization when it comes to something as important as the internals of an engine.
SVT Motor Swap into 2000 zx3 with 5spd.

focaltech is FAR from a genius when it comes to anything let alone the focus.

this is true
you can get a spair head, some cartridge rolls, a nice die grinder with varriable speeds, a couple of flap wheels... clean out the rough spots and it will improve flow.
i wasted 2 heads looking for all the water jackets just so i knew how much and where i could take the most off for the best gains. in some areas there is only a couple of MM before the waterjackets... to thin and it will crack under system pressure and opperating temps/conditions!

i have heads in stock to port out...
i have one basicly ready to go, it just needs the bowl work and a trip to the machine shop and it's ready.
typical lead in time for heads is 2-6weeks
there is a $250 core charge which is refunded after inspection of your old head.
