• Saw this on e-bay.  Part number is a lot like for a 1.6 motor but intake ports, the biggish looking valves (i might wrong there) and the valve cover mounting points make it seem like a 1.9 liter head
  
  Maybe an Audi (or Volvo???)

• RustyCaddy,  You looking for a 1.6 head?  I saw this one in Eugene but I don't think it is diesel.  Ports in back?  http://eugene.craigslist.org/pts/3098486874.html
  
  I am rebuilding my 1.6 as it has an injector boss crack under the #1 injector.  Must be the season to be rebuilding.

• Dale, those were ALL gasser parts..
  
  diesels have injector ports on the FRONT of the head, not on the back. only gassers had port injection.

• Kind of what I thought.  Those holes just didn't add up with the front of the cam off to the right like that.  He only had it listed as a 1.6 head with no qualifiers.

• Thanks for the tip about Craiglist and letting me know it is for a 1.9 liter.  That is a weird part number...not what i thought would be for an AAZ anyways.  Maybe for a industrial motor?
  
  For some reason i want to use a 1.9 liter head on 1.6 turbo block with a K14...not like i would get a lot more power without a big turbo and intercooling but maybe better mpg's.

  there is no benefit to the 1.9 head unless you want a bunch of boost.
  
  the lower compression makes it start harder, and make it get WORSE MPG.. the high compression makes it REALLY efficient..
