Where can u buy a quality 22re head?
lce wants $400 plus shipping for stock replacement
dnj products offers one on ebay for $220 ish
dnj is also iso certified
also need a cam similar to engnbldr 270 430
anyone have any advice or input?
have the Chinese heads improved over the past few years? I've researched for days and I'm still unable to make a decision
thanks in advance

I'm not sure if engnbldr machines or changes parts in shop to their "stock" heads, but I bought one a couple years ago and it had a DNJ logo laser-etched on it. It might be exactly the same product, who knows? Anyway, mine has been great for 11k miles and I see no reason it won't last. To my eye the casting looked as good as the OEM one.

Just how bad is your head ??

Just what year are you tinkering with??

Engine Builder Most likely everyone has the Flu

Myself I would wait but you gotta do what you need to .

I trust anything from them over anyone else

For $400.00 you should be able to get it rebuilt

Used head rebuilt ??

Did Chinese products get better ??

Depends how long ago the last quality control inspector was shot .

Give them another 20 or 30 years they might get it together

One can have the latest knock off CNC tooling and still make junk

I'm assuming he uses bare dnj castings and puts them together. From what understand from emails his son is taking care of his sick mother and is out of town. He said months wait time. A couple weeks I could do. Not months
My head is trashed journals are scored and has been shaved 2 times its the end of the road for it

Tried calling them a week or so ago throughout the day and always got a busy signal. Think that (as others have said) there is just some stuff going on.

I emailed them a month ago and received a quick response. When I tried to call a couple days after the email I kept getting an automated "We're sorry, your call can not be completed as dialed".

I ended up keeping my old head since it passed the pressure test.

Maybe email them with your phone number and have them call you back. They have a couple email addresses listed but the one I got a response from was engnbldr@engnbldr.com

Ehhh... Wanted to see if they had OE head studs on hand and couldn't get the phone to ring. Given the situation I was in I had to go another route.

Any opinions on doa? He has a head listing on ebay with port work I'm kinda interested in it but previous customer service has me leary of going that route

Weird... Never heard of DOA before just now. Everyone else mentioned in this thread... but never DOA. Think it's prolly because Engnbldr is like 5 minutes from my house though

They were big 15 years ago.
