    Not sure on the valves. Was complete when I purchased from a shop a few years back. And yes the casting has never been on a vehicle

    FWIW I used to run a cylinder head from Clearwater Cylinder Head on my old '89 Shadow ES. I replaced the old head because of a burnt valve. I never had any problems with the CCH head. Free bump for a good deal.

    Do you have a pic of the front of the head? Is it a genuine Chrysler casting? or china? Might be interested.

    Chances are it is a Chinese head...seller didn't reply to PM I sent requesting same and I am fairly certain that vendor was one of the companies selling them.

    I thought I would add that the CCH head I picked up was direct from CCH on eBay. It was ran on a 2.5L "Turbo II" setup in my '89 Shadow with 14 psi boost. Good times.

    Sorry guys, been busy the past couple days. I will get a picture of the front of the head for you all. I am not sure whether it is a "China" casting or Chrysler casting. Anyway to tell ?

    If it is Chrysler, it will have a pentastar cast on the front.

    Its a Chinese. Can tell by the 80001 number. They have a really thick deck height as well. Don't remember numbers.

    +1. Looks too clean of casting for the Chinese casting. Someone, maybe CCH, told me there were 2.2/2.5 heads coming out of New Zealand.

    I'd say from the back where the ports are, it's not a Chinese or at the very least is decent. The one that was on the CSX was all over the place on the port sizes and shapes. Gasket matched it may have cleaned up ok, but boy oh boy was it a wreck unscathed. The head was brand new too, it had never been installed so that should tell you something. That one looks to be in decent shape even if it's not a stock Chrysler.

    You might want to check the cam cap bolt holes and threads as I have had three heads from Clearwater with "issues", left handed lock-tight and the like.

    Unlikely as this is a four year old thread. May I suggest you post a message on the "parts wanted" forum
