I just talked to the guy I am buying my new AAZ head off of. Some of you may be familier with him. It is Bleached Bora (Aaron) from the TDI Club.

The head that I was buying was mismarked. It was a 1.9NA head. He called to let me know.

He has a supplier who is getting in a crate of new parts. It is supposed to contain a number of new, complete Kolbenschmidt 1.9TD AAZ heads.

I asked him what he could work out for a group buy price on these heads.
Bleached Bora said that he should be able to sell these at a group buy price of between $600-700 dollars U.S, shipped, if he gets 4 buyers.

I am one.

I should have a bit firmer price in a day or so. When I have a solid price I will post it.

I think that price range for a new shipped head is pretty darn good.

Anyone else here interested in going in on this?

Jim

I am going to pass this site info on to him. He was interested in becoming a vendor here.

Are these complete head or is it for a bare head?

Complete.

Wow that includes cam, lifters, valves, pre cups etc? That would be a smokin deal.

I overheated my 1.6 NA Caddy without a temp gauge working. Now THAT was a smokin' head! Literally :oops:

I would be definitely in. I have my motor in pieces right now. Let me know what you find out. Funny, I contacted him a few weeks ago and he said he couldn't get them - things must have changed. I also realize my shipping would be more to Canada.

Now lets see, intake & downpipe from Dave, K24 Turbo, an intercooler, a Giles pump, and my 32,000 km TDI CTN tranny and I should be good to go!

Let me Know - I am two(2)

Just got back from hunting, I sent Bleached Bora an e-mail about the group buy. I will post the answers as soon as I get them. He should be registering as a vendor soon.

Questions I asked:

Firm price yet between 6-700 shipped.

Valve stem Dia.

Asked if these are German imports, or Mexican, produced under Kolbenschmidt licence/guidence.

How he will handle shipping to Canada.

Find out for sure if you can, I might be interested as well.

Just in case some of you dfon't know 1.9td valves, pre cups, lifters are very expensive.

Yep.

When I added up all the costs for rebuilding my AAZ head with all new components, plus machine work and shipping, I was at , if not over this cost.

Are you SURE they are complete? I have yet to see complete heads brand new available from anyone but if they are coming from Europe anything is possible. The price is fair, nothing smoking hot though, rebuilt cores a only a few hundred nowadays, however they require a core return. New bare heads are out there in the $500 range, but if your starting from scratch you do need a complete head. Valves, lifters, cups nothing is expensive anymore, but it adds up if you have to build one. Any word on TDI heads?
