Here in a month or 2, I am going to be ordering a head from gmpartsdirect to replace mine which is cracked since my state inspections are coming up in February. The head will be bare, no valvetrain or anything. Will the head have valve guides pre installed in it or not? Thanks in advance for any input you guys have.

 

I dont think it has valve guides in the standard head.... Not sure though never bought one from them yet.

 

Im thinking your probably right because they had everything but valve guides in the diagram, I just found that wierd and was trying to get some more info regarding this.

 

i would call tom up and check, i havent ordered anything from them since i had a incident with tom that caused me to start a personal boycott....

you buyin a stock head? i could prob get you a head WITH all internals for cheap, a local guy is selling a 2.2 long block for VERY cheap

 

Yeah Im just looking for a stock head right now, dont have to money to go all out and get a port and polished head for it right now.

 

i have a stock head. IDK what motor you got, but my spare head is a '07 L61 head

 

I also have a stock head, you will need to clean it and transfer your cams but I am trying to let it go for $150 shipped. It is an 06 and fits 04-06 ecotec 2.2s and has the valvetrain. PM me if interested.
