    Description

    1953-1956 Austin Healey 100-4 Cylinder Head. This Factory OEM Westlake cylinder head was discovered in the attic of a shop in West Los Angeles, California.
    I am willing to say, after 45 years into Healeys, there is probably not another one anywhere in the world. This baby is priceless! Never mounted, never surfaced, no water near it
    ever, This head still retains the factory applied Cosmoline Protective Finish and there is absolutely no rust anywhere. Has been properly stored for all the years!
    Healey experts will tell you the numerous problems with the aluminum heads being manufactured now concerning metal contraction with iron engine blocks, 0 head gaskets
    that do not work, be it steel or copper. Constant coolant leaking even with freshly decked engine blocks along with overheating issues. Among many other issues!
    Please do not waste your money and stress of buying a used Healey cylinder head, you have heard the nightmares, they are all cracked, warped, rusted, and resurfaced so many
    times and all the threads are completely gone or stripped. There are lots of those available to make great boat anchors! Ask anyone!
    Once again this Factory Westlake Healey cylinder head is New OEM , Unused, No Cracks, and No Rust and would make the perfect reliable addition to your restoration. This item
    is a treasure find and you will never have a chance to find another anywhere, period! Buyer will receive info on shop and shop owner where I got it. Will ship to lower 48 states only!
