What do I call these if I'm trying to sell them, just heads?

Post by mrsimpson »

Hey all,

I've a few parts that I'm going to be selling. But as I'm not that mechanical (yet) I hoped you could help me identify or name what I have.

I have two sets of 'heads' from a 71 911E with MFI 2.2 Litre.

But are they just known as heads? As they also have the cam housing, cams and everything inside too...

?

Thanks

Heads; The three bits at the bottom of the pic with the valves in
Cam box; the aluminium casting that joins the heads together
Rocker covers: The outer magnesium black bit

In terms of return you'd be better off stripping to components and selling separately, assuming the cams aren't as rusty as the gears that is...

Thank Gary. Is it a simple process to strip them down? Any special tools needed?

The challenge is going to be undoing the cam nut as it needs a big crowsfoot spanner (can't remember the size) everything else is just normal tools.

Holding it still with the assembly loose like that and not mounted on an engine and on a stand will be... errr fun?

46mm crows foot and the cam holding socket. 150Nm or so on the nut to tighten. They are a bit of a fit to tighten on the engine
