    Well, I scored some wrx heads pretty cheap. I'd like to clean them up so I can take a better look at them. What should I use as a solvent?

    Also, is it going to be possible/cheap to source internal parts like the camshaft caps and bolts?

    thanks again peeps!!!!

    the problem is, the head is machined for the camshaft WITH the caps FOR the head, not all caps are gonna be the same.

    I guess not. In the picture it looked like the caps were in place.

    So....looks like I'm SOL????

    Get various caps, install camshaft in head, see if they bind.
