OMG there heads are expensive.

Also this is details on the 16v head.

The small valve head is machined with 31cc combustion chambers before we
machine the head during the engine build. This should allow you to
calculate your ratios.

Ruddy high quality though

yup, not cheap.. but probably due to casting costs and the lack of competition..

See Chris, if it wasn't for your love of poor reliabilty, you'd be doing either a VTEC or R1 conversion and you know it! (and they'd both cost similar to what KAD want for their head

I doubt you'd see much change from 3-4k, and alot of builds end up costing a fair bit more than that!
