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... |

After hearing Len speak about rebuilding heads I thought he was the best man to do my heads. They turned out great. All nasty areas repaired.
He recommends new seats on all 1.8 and 2.0 heads because he finds they simply drop out in his oven. His seats are a much tighter fit for less chance of dropping out. New guides, new valves, new springs, new rocker studs, new exhaust studs and the exhaust ports decked. Flycut of course. He occasionally runs specials, and this is the time to get it done. Mine had no cracks, that I know of, and that is more common in Canada. Most 2.0 heads have hidden cracks, and unless the seats are removed you may not find them until it is too late. |
