Dropped the engine yesterday and starting to pull things apart - but having internet problems uploading pics.
Putting in AA's new Cylinder Heads & 96mm P's & C's. Can't wait. More pics when I can get uploading to work - downloading is fine.... GN (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/hosting.photobucket.com-21449-1659712197.1.JPG) |

Gattornapper,
May I ask what heads did you decide to use and where did you get them? AA or FAT? Your previous thread got me checking the various sources that people mentioned. Thanks. |

Mike -
See first post - AutoAtlanta heads. Ordering Monday. Some info put clouds over the expensive FAT heads, so not taking that extra risk for the extra $$$. For my everyday driving, I'm pretty sure I'll be happy with the AA heads with a main focus on just keeping them cool. My engine has stayed nice and cool since I put the new Tangerine T-stat & cleaned everything up 3 years ago. I think the FAT heads are the same as AA only machined more & machined for the larger valves. GN PS: Lived in Orlando & Gainesville many years ago - father from Gainesville, my grandad built 4 houses at 924 SE 4th Ave. in the 1930's. They are still there.

QUOTE(Gatornapper @ Aug 5 2022, 06:28 PM) See first post - AutoAtlanta heads. Ordering Monday. GN Just for clarity. AA Performance Products is the supplier of the Chinese 2.0L head castings and assemblies. AA performance products is in CA. No relation to Automobile Atlanta in GA as far as I know. Automobile Atlanta (and others) are distributing those AA Performance products heads. Doesn't really amount to much - just wanted to be sure you know where they are sourced from regardless of who is distributing them. As I posted previously I have a set of HAM heads built off that casting and I have no reservations about the quality of the head casting based on what I've seen. If I'm mistaken, I'm sure someone will correct me. |

Thanks for the clarification. My bad. I was using AA for Auto Atlanta, as many here do, I knew nothing of AA Performance Parts.
Glad to hear the heads are sound. GN QUOTE(Superhawk996 @ Aug 6 2022, 07:46 AM) QUOTE(Gatornapper @ Aug 5 2022, 06:28 PM) See first post - AutoAtlanta heads. Ordering Monday. GN Just for clarity.
