Empi heads and Cima/Mahle cylinders, Review of Empi heads and availability of Mahle cylinders Options

[Mr.Vman]

New to the type 4 and 914 world, Noticed that Empi has two cylinder heads available for the type four. has anyone used them yet? If so, how do they compare against the heads that are available? Cooling? Flowing? Quality? Are the Empi heads worth buying compared to what's out there now? In the type 1 world, Cima/Mahle cylinders seem to be what to use with good success. Are Cima/Mahle cylinders available for the type 4? If so, from whom or where? And while I consider Empi heads and Mahle cylinders, what about new type four cases? Are there new type four cases available? Or soon to be available? I know with the VW type 1 new cases solve many problems. Thank you for the time and information, Steve V,

I noticed Stoddard are current selling 2.0 heads @ $650 each ,interesting to to see if anyone's used them ,they appear to be AMC but hard to tell from the add.
I believe the Cima /Mahle cylinder kits stopped coming from Brazil some time ago so NOS may be the only sourse ,expect to spend lots if you find a set ,AA stuff has come a long and appears many have used them to good result.
Cheers.
