Anybody got a head for an S2 lying around.I ve just managed to knock the corner off the lug that goes over the water inlet at the front of the head.I am going to try alloy welding but if I could find a head cheep enough I would prefer that option.I don't need cams or valves etc just a head.
 
We are having to dispose of all our 944/968 spares to make room for newer model parts and have several heeads.Phone Daniel 01204 302809 any reasonable offer considered. Baz

Really? Interesting. I guess this will happen, but marks another stage in the aging of the 944. Any other interesting parts going begging? Oli.

Mainly due to the fact they will now be racing Boxsters may be???
 
Still looking for a head for an S2.Hartec wanted £250 plus vat for an untested head with no garauntee it would be ok.So back to square one.Is it just me or is a second hand head really worth the best part of £300.If any one knows of one please get in touch.
 
Have you tried Alasdair (SulzerUK on here). He usually has spares, and always at good prices. Or there is a chap called Elliott, who pops up occasionally. £250 for an untested head without guarantee sounds high. Having said that, I'd be surprised if Baz wouldn't take a duff part back. Oli.
 
Alistair was the first person I phoned.He hasn't got an S2 head.I will pm elliot.I spoke to one of baz's guys and not baz himself maybe if I had I would have got a different answer.Still going to look about.It's only the corner off of the tab over the water jacket at the front of the engine.I ahve seen a couple of big engine turbo conversions where they cut this part off of anS2 head and weld it onto an 8 valve turbo head. so I recon it will be ok to weld it.I just wanted a spare in case it doesn't work.
 
In the summer I needed a new head. Ended up buying three, as the first two failed pressure testing. Only had to pay for the third (i.e. the healthy one), and the cost was £250. Consequently on my limited but relatively recent research, £250 sounds about right.
