Cylinder head golf mk3 1,9td
« on: February 04, 2009, 05:51:16 pm »
Ok guys, here we are... I sent my golf to a mechanic and he told me few valves were bent.. Is it worth changing the cylinder head or should i just give up and move forward. If so, where could i find the cheapest cylinder head. I am wondering if it is easy to put it back in the engine or i will need a professional?
Should i just change the valves in the one already in place?

I am in whistler near vancouver, British-columbia.

Thank you for all your help
AAZ for life!

I guess the cheapest route would be to pull the head and get the valves, guides and lifters replaced. Check the piston max height so you don't have any bent rods. You could also file the valve imprints off the piston crowns.
