WTB 1.6 cylinder NA
« on: January 17, 2012, 08:10:35 pm »
  I'm in desperate need of a good diesel cylinder head.  Failing that
does anyone have a 1.6 or 1.9 for sale at a reasonable price?  I'm
not averse to turbo either if the price is right.  I have two dead vws
both w cylinder head problems so I'm ready to buy. Thanks

I wonder what it would cost to ship one?  Won't fit in a priority mail flat rate box I don't think.

The head I need is hydraulic w 12mm bolts.  The damage to one head is repairable, bent valves basically. 
The damage to the second head is more extensive, I had a bad injector which eroded away about 180
degrees of the sealing washer seat under the injector.  I suppose a good welder and a knowledgeable
machine shop could repair this but I think it would be probably easier and cheaper to just get a good
used head.  If I'm wrong in that assessment I'm open to suggestions and ideas. Thanks.

the guy in montclair has complete na engines for like 700-800 probably should go see him. just make sure you get a warranty and pull the valve cover off before you buy it make sure it's not all sludgy.

the guy's name is thomas. I got an engine off him a few years ago when I was in the area fixing up a rabbit and it turned out to be a bag of sheet. but he was cool about it, just make sure you get a good warranty from him. he is fair on the 1.6 na engines but his td engines are pricey. I can ship you a good 1.9 td for about half what he'll charge you for one.
