Gday all,

Can anyone tell me the weight of a Holden 6 head complete with valves, springs and rockers?

I don't have one readily accessable to weigh. :fool:

I got 26 KG's for a standard port high comp head with rockers and thermostat housing.

If its a low comp it will be lighter, ported will be slightly lighter again :P

Cheers :P
