Any have a list of their favorite head builders?
Just trying to get an idea of how much it would cost to recondition a basic set of 2.0 heads. Stupid question, but are prices at Len's site per head or per pair? http://www.haminc.biz/vw/pricelist.shtml Does anyone know if these prices are current. Lastly, does anyone have a reputable head guy in the northeast? How much should one expect to pay for a pair of good 2.0 heads, that aren't cracked and dont have any major issues? Just trying to get a ballpark idea... |

I wouldn't be too sure they're not cracked. Most are, and often in places you can't see until they're apart and cleaned. You might get by for under a grand, including valves, or you might spend substantially more than that. If there's a crack, you'll likely need at least one seat. If the seats are worn enough, you may need more than one, maybe even all of them. And guides, too. Worst case, other than they're beyond repair, is they could cost $2K +. Best case would be guides and valves, and surfacing, and maybe some thread repairs.
I use either Competition Engineering in Lake Isabella, CA, or Engine Machine Service, in Westchester, CA (Near LAX). Both are as close as the big brown truck. Both are outstanding places with which to do business. The Cap'n |
