How long does it take to get a set of GN1-R heads?

[Turbo1dr]

Just curious because it's been since May for me.

Who did you order them from?
What did they quote you for a delivery timeframe?
Wouldn't that question be better answered by the supplier?

Otto has a used set for sale.

 

[Otto J]

mine are not "R" heads but Ted A has a set of 'R's for sale

 

[Turbo1dr]

Wouldn't that question be better answered by the supplier?

At this point no. I was just wondering how long it took the person that actually has a set to receive them. That way, I could get an idea of how long I "may" be waiting.

Who did you order them from?

Rather not say. I'd like to keep things between the vendor and myself.

What did they quote you for a delivery time frame?

No quote. I'm a patient person. I figured the demand for the expensive GN1-R heads can't be that great for me to be on a waiting list.

Please release the vendors name,Its good for the community to know who may be slow to deliver when ordering

 

[Russ Merritt]

May??? WOW!! Sorry to hear that bud. Hope they come in soon!

It would be bad taste on my part to do that.


After posting this thread, I recieved a phone call updating the progress. Do not know if it was coincidental or not. However, I now know the heads are finished and all that's left is getting the rest of the matching components together.

Did you know that "R" heads dont fit on 3.8 blocks without notching the bore.

Yes I do. It can be done according to one person willing to talk to me about this. Once I get my hands on them, I'll see for myself what needs to be done.

All you have to do is cut about an 1/8" off the side of the valve that interferes. It's an easy and cheap fix.
