Hello everybody!
Let's get the obvious out of the way; looking for an AAZ head for my project. The only baisic conditions is it must be:
1.Sraight sealing surface
2.Good original precups installed
3.Good valve seats
4.All cam caps w/ VC studs installed
I can buy my own valves, guides, vavle spring tops and retainers. I baisically want a complete serviceable head core to port and maybe rebuild as I see fit.
The next thing I'd like to have (but not necessarily need) i sa set of dual valve springs complete with seats. I already have a set of good single springs, so this is kind of a good-to-have. Gonna be running a bit of boost and just looking or a bit of peace of mind.
Thanks for the interest!

P.S.: Where can you buy good AAZ cams?
fwiw. 1.6 cams will work in the aaz head. Contact Smokey Eddy
I've got one $250 plus shipping. Has 8mm valves with single springs unfortunately. Comes complete with cam, valve cover, etc. Everything except gaskets and the oil gallery plug on the side. I can send you some macro pics of the pre-cups etc. Head looks to be in good shape although I never ran it as I sold my IDI.
hey i got you covered on the springs if ya want... have a bent valve 16v head here.. same as i used on my tdi.. if you want some springs let me know..

Oh yeah I forgot the 16v springs and seats work in 8v heads! I guess I'll just get those along with the trans setup when we do our late march part pick-up trip. How much?
And RalleyDiesel, I'll PM you an email address for those pics. Do you think you could sell the head as a bare unit? I'd take it without cam and lifters at least.
I'll message Eddie later, but would I just ast for a 1.6 cam? I don't exactly get what I'm contacting him about concerning cam selection or whatever.
not just a 1.6 cam.. a HYDRO cam.. and im just going to hook ya up with the valve springs...
Bump for still needing.
(And if it's bad form to bump in the GTD boards I won't do it again.)
Anyone still out there that can hook me up w/ an AAZ head? Anyone?
