I am trying to spend no more cash on my temporary 1.8 engine. That does not seem to be an option at this point. Rather than taking my head off and sending it out for a valve seat, i was wondering if anybody had a single head off a 1.8 in usable condition. It has to last me till i finish the 2056 on my original 2.0

thanks

Try looking on thesamba.com. Look under 411/412 and 73- Bus.

I do have a single 1.8L head. I would at least lap the valves and take it apart to check the guides. I got it from a parts stash and have no history on it. You might be able to bolt it on and use it as is but who knows of the chamber volume is close to the one you have? Anyway it is $50 plus shipping if you want it. Shipping is from 92505 CA.

A good local connection to try is Ed Anspach. He is a good guy and has a ton of 914 stuff. He is about an hour north of Dillsburg:
