1 groove vs 3 groove valve stems
« on: May 16, 2008, 10:23:06 pm »
So, I have to have my 1.6 mech head rebuilt.  Needs all new valves.  imagine my suprise when I see that all the intakes are 1 groove, all the exhausts are 3 groove.  Any one else every run into a mixed bag like this?  It is off a 1985 vehicle.


2009 Jetta TDI Loyal edition, 6-spd. 16V 2.0CR


1985 VW Golf 5-spd, 4-door, 1.6NA  Bought from orig. owner in Savannah with 42,000 miles.
"Making the jump NA to TD" slow but sure.
