I don't have much choice when it comme to heads replacement. I don't believe in Reman VW heads and i don't like the AMC valves, and the customers won't pay the extra for German valves. Another problem here (in eastern Canada) is availability in a reasonable delay... (Any of you VW parts dealers should do business with me... i could keep some stock available for Estern Canada. We have more vanagons and bus's here than the rest of the country together!!!!) Even if i order GoWesty, B.Bob heads, i maybe stuck with a van in my shop for weeks, US / Canada custom are kind of slow lately. So, i bought localy some new AMC heads. I will had comments on that page over the test period, i will monitor those heads (from a few customers) all year and keep everyone up to date as for compression lost or anything else. http://www.benplace.com/vanagon_engine6.htm Regards, Ben http://www.benplace.com/ |
