Coscast head??

[BODGSI]

Does anyone know how to tell a coscast head and wot sort off money there worth???

[Jay]

It has Coscast, made by cosworth written on the head. £50 Max!

[Adam]

£50? ROFL lol

Check ebay/mig, they go for £300 lol

It will has Coscast stamped on the head, under the exhaust ports, will have to feel for it, unless the heads removed.

Also, a coolant plug in the end of the head is different compared to the GM heads iirc

It will have coscast stamped on it between 2 &3 exhaust ports. Viewable with a mirror, or better from underneath.
(they're not made by cosworth btw, and this isn't stamped on the head, iirc it refers to the casting process)
I've seen later dis heads make £250. I sold a good one last year on the bay for £150.

well ive got a early gte head it lokks diffrent and it dont have gm stamped on the end???

[John]

Check for the coscast stamp then.

[Stuart]

you get silly money on ebay/mig but imho they arent worth the huge premium over a KS one

[ck]

generaly not worth any more than £200 depending of conditon, wheras a DIS coscast head can fetch £250 no problem (vey vey rare)

[Lee H]

Can also tell by the shape of the castings where the exhaust manifold heat shield bolts on. Round ones on a GM head.

Have a look on www.topbuzz.co.uk for a guide on how to differentiate between the KS and Coscast head
