smokey eddy had good luck with prothe's aaz head. If you would be doing your own porting, i wouldnt worry to much about casting marks as you could remove them yourself eh? Would you consider a 1.6/1.9!? LOL
I believe so, that and many think because its coming from china.. that its going to be of lesser quality then a German head... Why? Chinese/Japanese engines take some abuse from there users as well dont they?
ahhh. there is a good point. Grab a few from a known good source and put them in lol.I think after the cheap head, precups, and your time porting.. your still cheaper then a German head no? i really have no idea though.
...BTW your Bieber avatar is awesome.-Malone

Are you fairly close to the USA/Canada border?You could try these guys: Heinz garage 205 Wyandotte Street East, Windsor, ON N9A 3H5 - (519) 256-8161http://www.heinzgarage.net/about_us.htmlThey are very close to the Detroit/Windsor tunnel. Its a VW, Porsche, Audi, & Mercedes garage.I bought a german head they had sitting around a few years back ($200, no cracks between the valves, intake and exhaust manifolds included). At the time they were just looking to get rid of all the old IDI parts they had sitting around.Another local shop with a bunch of parts cars sitting around: All Cars 2580 Manning Road, Tecumseh, ON N0R 1K0 - (519) 979-4721These guys are further from the border (half an hour at the most). However, I wouldnt expect any great deals. I dont know where my Jetta with the 'new' head ended up. However, I was beating the snot out of towards the end so the head is quite possibly little better than scrap.
