D15 DOINF HEAD GASKET MACHINE SHOP?
Debating about getting head checked for warping or valve job?
my buddy who is a honda guru said waste of money just going to sell car
I'm used to toyota 22r and those have a different block design more surface area than honda motor

RE: D15 DOINF HEAD GASKET MACHINE SHOP?
So - what's your question again?
I just recently picked up my '95 Hatch for $800, with a blown head gasket and warped head. I had the head checked out at a local machine shop, who basically rebuilt the head (resurfaced, reground the valve guides, and a valve job) for $177. If you've done any research online, you'll find this is a helluva lot cheaper than trying to find a remanufactured head. And any machine shop that's worth a **** will only charge you a minimal fee for checking the head to make sure it's still good or not.

Well, like I said, I got the whole deal (check for warp, correct warp, redo valve guides, and a valve job) for $177. Results may vary.
You won't find a good head on eBay that cheap... not after you factor in shipping, too. Not for a D15Z engine. Trust me - I looked everywhere... not just eBay.
