Default 2002 Z06 driver side head

Broke a valve spring on the passenger side but the driver side is perfect. Any interest in buying this side by itself? If not anyone have a passenger side for sale?

I don't know too much about cars, or the motors that propel them...But some things you just change in pairs...Headlights, sparkplugs, things of that sorts. It would probably be a bit cheaper to buy just the one side, but why, when they are one of the easiest things to change, would you only change one? As things break or wear out, I see that as a chance to MODIFY! ...Just my 0.02 worth!

I don't know why you need to replace the entire head for a broken valvespring, but there may be damage you're not explaining. BTW, the heads are not mirror, they're the same left, and right side.

I too broke a valve spring. Had it replaced and all seems good. I heard there was a bulliten about this but haven't seen one. I am watching your post

A piece slammed into the head and cracked the wall. I have already replaced the heads and more, but was seeing if someone wants to buy the good side.
