I figured this group might enjoy seeing my Christmas present to myself. These are for my 72 VW bus. They cost more THAN my bus. LOL.....I did not opt for the Ceramic coating. But as stated these are Camper Specials, New 1.8 AMC castings, Type4store's 2 liter sized SS valves, springs, keepers, etc... modified ports, proprietary valve seats that you can see are inserted deeper, plus a notch for an under plug CHT thermocouple.
Still to come is a Type4store 9590 cam kit with cut to fit Chromoly push rods, solid lifters, swivel foot adjusters, I forget what else. Merry Christmas to me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) |

Wow...those are pretty!
Is this the outcome to the discussion the other week on whether or not anyone still rebuilds 1.8 heads? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Wow...those are pretty! Is this the outcome to the discussion the other week on whether or not anyone still rebuilds 1.8 heads? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) It is certainly my outcome. I would have liked to have been able to have had the 1.8 heads for this engine rebuilt. But I could not find anyone that I would trust to do it locally. Shipping heavy stuff is expensive. I called a Head place here in Nashville and got the sales pitch of the day. And how "straight-forward" type 4 vw heads are. No details on seats, or porting, etc... That is when I knew that he did not know specifically about type 4 heads. Oh he was gonna be cheap, but that was not my goal. Len rebuilt my 914's 1.8 heads back in 2012. I guess NEW is the way to go, now. Between him, Jake and the type4Store, they say that no one has called and let them know that a seat has dropped on any heads like this that they have sold. My fingers are crossed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) http://aircooledtechnology.com/cylinder-heads/ I investigated getting AMC heads from AA, but all their valves and ports are 1.7 sized. They claim that the heads is a 2.0, but the valves are too small. Their new AMC heads are about 1/3 as expensive, but I believe they are 100% AMC. |
