So after 2 years of ripping down and rebuilding my 74 2.0, I finally got it back in this past week and started up. Turns out I need new heads/current heads to be rebuilt. I've done a little research and made some calls and it looks like I may have to dish out the 3 grand to get new ones. Does anyone on here have any advice or anyone on here selling 2 liter heads? I'm beyond frustrated as this has been a very length project but at this point I'm willing to do anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

Hi guys. Just wanted to clarify my T4 head policy. I stopped working with used T4 heads the end of 2014. We still maintain a high quality T4 cylinder head program that's based on new heads, and distributed for us by www.type4store.com.
With the overwhelming demand for our time focused on modern Porsche and BMW something had to go. And given the overall state of used T4 cores now being in the tank it was a no-brainer. In 2014 only 3 pairs met our strict minimum condition requirements, but accessing the condition of an endless stream of used up T4 cores took a chunk of our very limited time for which we cannot, in good conscious, charge. Some time ago I asked AA to stop offering our reman heads on their website. Not sure why they didn't. I haven't done T4 heads for them in years. Not here to flame AA. Just stating facts. -Len Hoffman |
