These heads are the standard heads with their speacial "cut" for the valves/seats so they resist dropping. They included paperwork stating that you should use a shim in the bttm of the Cylinder/case rather than the gasket between the cylinder/heads. Circular valves (ports?). They do not have rocker arms. Will work (I think) on any 2.0L air-cooled Vanagon.
