Hi all. You're probably aware of the fact I just bought a '74 2.0 from Root_Werks. There's one small problem with it: an exhaust leak. The general consensus seems to be to have the heads rebuilt ("while I'm in there" #1), thus saving the worry about them later on.
My problem is I don't really know too much about these heads. As long as I'm going to replace them, I figure I'd might as well get them from Jake, as it seems he might possibly know what he's talking about when it comes to Type IVs. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
And that's where my struggle begins. I don't plan on building this engine into any sort of monster (yet...), I just want a good set of heads rebuilt to reliable standards. If i could grab some horses from it while I'm at it, I certainly won't complain.
I'd really rather not spend over $1000 (preferably more like $800) on these heads. I took a gander at these: http://www.aircooledtechnology.com/store/p...&cat=257&page=1 However, there's no real description of what they are. I see they're heads with what I assume are a 42mm exhaust valve and a 36mm intake valve, have oval ports (as opposed to the square Bus ones, right?) and fit a 96mm bore (which I thought was a 2056, but I could be wrong....). Is this what I'm looking for? Does Jake even offer heads that would fit a STOCK 2.0? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)
I tried searching, but seem to be rather "searchtarded" as one member put it.
I don't partiuclarly want to send my heads off to be rebuilt. I suppose I might sell them once I get the new ones, but who knows.

Thanks!!!
