AMC heads are good.  I have heard people complain that the castings in the
intake ports are rough.  HA!  Look at the casting of the VW intake port!
Just as rough.  I have heard that AMC bought thier castings from VW so you
are basically getting the exact same castings.  The nice thing about them is
that they have changed the alloy that the heads are made from in order to
help with the corrosion problem.  I like these new heads and I have installed
many sets on customer's vans, with no problems so far (I even have a set on
my own '91 Vanagon and they are great).  No one out there to my knowledge
except AMC makes no heads for the 1.9l or 2.1l Vanagon.  I sell these heads
for $395 each as the List member discount.  They come with new valves and new
valve springs.  Just FYI.

Thanks,
Ken Wilford
