WTB: Head for 1.6 N/A w/11mm head bolts
« on: January 22, 2014, 10:30:29 am »
My head has a crack causing sludge to build in my cooling system. Need a new head so I can drive without thinking I am sitting on a ticking time bomb. Please let me know if you have something.

Thanks.

How would a crack in the head cause sludge in the cooling system? Is it leaking oil into the cooling system? Or are you thinking its a combustion leak from the crack?

The pic of the head he posted had a crack from a valve seat to a coolant passage. That'll do it.
