Minnesota Focus Owners Club

need svt head! bought a 02 svt. ideler timing pully went out on previous owner. (yes the one from cl) so ive been looking for a head but if i cannot find one ill be forced to get the old one repaired. 16 valves and 16 guides. lol along with head work. i would be willing to buy one needing less head work.....

i dont have all the specs on your car, but car-part.com did show some focus heads.

2002 svt. lol

no svt head listed on car part. only one motor in mn listed, and it only turns over 3 quarters of a turn. they want 400 for that.

found these. let me know what you guys think.

it says on the previous page that it will fit svt.

and searching odessa cylinder head on google pulls up a lot of forums talking about them. have a 12 month warrentee.

That's a regular Zetec head, they are not the same.

i knew that but they might carry a svt line

Buy the head for $600 now or I will. That is a hell of a deal!!
For reference I paid Chalon ~$400 for a used head complete and I thought that was a good deal. Brand new for a bit more is awesome.
Been watching what the very few good used heads go for and it's around that $400 mark. But I know a few of them where iffy IMO. One for sure had bent valves and the seller wouldn't say it did or didn't, don't see him post anymore on FF.

The SVT head is absolutely unique, anything saying it fits a Zetec and SVT is wrong.

A Zetec or SVT head can be modified to fit the other engine but they are NOT directly compatible of interchangeable.

haha ok think thatll be cheaper then fixing the old one? i brought the head to a shop 2 weeks ago and said i wanted a quote.......

but havent gotten the call yet


and i understand the ebay one is out of the question.
waiting on pm from the one on ff

massive is selling the "ultimate head" for the zetec, and im pretty sure they are doing a svt head soon enough, not that cheap tho im guessing...but worth checking out maybe

It was!

SVT intake valves are ~$23.89/each. Exhaust valves are about $16.65/each ... 23.89*8=$191.12, 16.65*8=$133.20, 191.12+133.20=$324.32 ... according to ZXTuner.com
No clue on what guides and seats cost, or if you can even get them individually. Seats I can't imagine would be cheap. Then you add in the cost of a valve job, $100 and any other labor ... the $600 head starts to look like a great deal, hence why I'll buy it if you don't.

He is buying it.

that wouldnt be ported or polished? massives head is like 1650... and im pretty sure its gonna be an actual svt head..i could be wrong tho...looks like it comes with everything u need except the cams themselves. lil pricy i guess..id be going this route if i were in ur situation tho http://www.massivespeedsystem.com/_mass ... 59015.aspx
