Subject:      Re: <no subject> (1.9 vs 2.1 heads)

I seem to remember that the 1.9 heads provide a slightly higher
compression ratio.  Other than that they are the same.  For those out
there who know ..... is this true?


Also, when I got my '85 Westy, it had (has) a VW head on the driver's
side and an AMC head on the passenger side.  I'm not too concerned about
the mixing of brands (my '84 has one of each), but how does one tell if
one or the other is a 2.1 head?  Based on other "questionable" acts of
maintenance or repair, I wouldn't swear to anything the PO(s) did.


Thanks,


Mike
