Well, I remember back in the days of me going to get my '91 GA w/ Quad4 running that the best head on the Q4 is the 086 (mine had one of the worst)

Anyway, while at the junkyard today there was a '92-'95 GA there, had the Q4 and an Auto, the IDI cover was removed (no hood either) so I was easily able to see the casting number... and in fact, it was an 086.... this is a u-pull-it junkyard, really good place, great people... I checked the prices, for a 4banger the head is $36 ($10 core)....

...now since the Q4 head will not fit a Cad V8 or a 3800 V6, I am just letting everyone know, that if they want it, I will pull it and ship it to you.... I don't know the condition or the miles (didn't look) but the front of the car wasn't hit, no engine fire etc... so let me know... I am not really looking to make any money off it either, just pay what it cost me and shipping......

If I forget to check back here (don't come into the Q4 section much :) ) shoot me a PM, that'll get my attention :)

I will be going back tomorrow

If any one is still interested, I can make a trip to the junk yard... I will be gone the 24th to the 2nd though... let me know...

Where is the casting number on the head anyway? I'm curious what I have...

I'll bet yours is a 753 - the number is, IIRC, by the timing chain housing in the bottom of the valley (the two cam housings). It's a longer number - the numbers (086, 753, 955, etc) are the last three digits of that number.

Ok thanks. I'll check that out sometime.
