QUOTE(Kansas 914 @ Apr 27 2017, 02:37 PM)  QUOTE(CMONNETT @ Apr 27 2017, 12:34 PM) I'm curious how good these are. I'm half tempted to get a pair. Has anyone received theirs yet? I think the "world" is waiting to see what McMark thinks of them. He will post his thoughts here or start a new thread when there is something to share. Got mine. I could've sworn I replied to this thread, but I guess I got sidetracked. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) At this point I've only inspected them visually. But comparing them to stock 2.0 heads, everything looks the way it should. You would be hard pressed to identify these as reproductions. My next step is to ship them off to a machine shop that I trust for a more thorough inspection than I'm set up for. But I don't see why the bare castings shouldn't be a good starting point. The first few sets I end up usings I'll expect to remachine the cylinder spigots and then I'll know if their machining is correct. Installing the seats and guides should be the same as having a stock set rebuilt. QUOTE(Mueller @ Apr 27 2017, 02:38 PM) Silly question, would 2.0 heads work with factory 1.8 cylinders or are they the wrong diameter Only the 1.7 cylinders/head is smaller. The 1.8 cylinders will fit in 2.0 or 1.8 heads. QUOTE(bretth @ Apr 27 2017, 02:56 PM) I recently saw a company selling type VW heads new complete with valves, springs etc for $125.00 if I recall correctly. I wonder if it is from the same people. For the life of me I cannot seem to find it now. That's too cheap. Something's not right there. The cost of parts is more than $125. |
