I have a 97 supra tt auto, non vvti,

 

the head was warped few years ago, not having funds i left the head in the shed, til i can have skimmed etc,

 

started new job got few quid together, gone to shed, the cylinder head has gone,,,, months ago had central heating installed, plumber kept old rads and pipes in shed, picked up one day by scrap man, hes took my head too, not happy,

im trying to find a 2nd hand head anyone help, or can send me a photo of the head, as ordered one already from a company on web, was wrong and refusing to refund, they want a photo what the one looks like, anyone help or selling a head.

No bad thing, a head that's warped that has the cam carrier built in will still have banana shaped cam saddles after skimming. In other words a warped MKIV head is a scrap head. If an alloy head has got hot enough to warp it will also have gone soft and be liable to head gasket failures in the future, even after skimming. All used heads from unknown sources should be hardness tested, thickness tested (to see if they have been skimmed) and warp tested before purchase.

You would be better off putting this in the parts wanted section. That is in the members section.

I've got a TT cylinder head, been sat in my house for 3 years :) Needs a bit of stone work on one (or two? It's been a while)combustion chamber's squish area to remove some dings from bits of spark plug or something, but our man Chris Wilson said that was perfectly OK to do (I thought the head was scrap, glad I checked with him)

 

Don't think it's got cams, probably got the bearing caps. Probably got valves and springs and buckets, probably not shims. I'm at work, can you tell ;)
