How often do a set of late model 4 or 7afe tubular headers show up on the yards?

How often do a set of late model 4 or 7afe tubular headers show up on the yards?

Very rarely. The 4A-GE 20v headers are a lot more common, but the last 7A-FE tubular headers I saw were fitted to the red bug-eye shaped Corolla hatchback (the day you were there), which is now long gone.

If this is still there next time you visit, I would be very keen on getting the lifters and pushrods from it. As long as the head has no lugs under #1 and 4 spark plug tubes.

You lost me after you said listen carefully . But in all seriousness, I've never worked on one of those motors so have no idea what to do really. I had a look today and due to height of the car on the stands at Pick-A-Part and the orientation of the engine, it looks like a mission to get in there. Come for a trip up to Auckland!

It looked like it had been sitting around for a while as it had algae on it, but it was in surprisingly good condition from memory. There were no dents that I could see other than the ones already listed.
