Title: Topline 1.6td 12mm mechanical head
Post by: tumper on June 02, 2011, 09:04:31 am

Does anyone have or know of a good source for a new topline cylinder head???? I searched alittle online and the two places I called were out of stock. I know partsplaceinc has them but I was looking to spend a little less than $695 bucks.

Get a prothe head; cheap.  Will most likely be fine.

Even with a prothe head after getting turbo diesel Valves and all of the other parts I would be close to the topline. Where is everyone getting their topline heads????
