Ive got a head for sale from a 04 ltz400. Im not sure of a price so ill leave it as open to offers, as im unsure the cost of fixing.
the good > its been ported, cam journals are still great, cam caps are good(one has a heli coil from the valve cover but never presented a problem before) i have the buckets, springs, retainers, and bolts all still working condition.
the bad > 1 broken guide, 2 damaged valve seats and some damaged to the combustion chamber
the reason for the damage was of a previous seizure an the cam sprockets moved an I didnt check valve squish when I rebuilt the engine. And after about 15hr or so of run time the valves couldnt take hitting the piston any longer an it broke.
