    Why do you need a new head? Sounds more to me like you need a new cam and followers. You can get that from Northern Auto parts for $90 I think, and that could be replaced in a weekend.

    i agree, new cam and followers if the tick is that bad. Since it sounds like you just got it, i would try cheaper route if you havent done so already. Change the oil, put some sythetic oil in it, run it for a little bit and see if it changes. Some valve train noise is quite normal afterall.

    what is a good cam and follower that can be used in both turbo and N/A head? Should I look to replace my head because I am leading up to get a Turbo Block?
