Volks, After purchasing my wife's 87 Westy project, I'm finally getting started. I knew the heads were messed up, but I was hoping for a simple head gasket job. Upon closer inspection, and a few pictures in macro focus mode, there appears to be a big crack on the one side. Any opinions? Is this head reusable? What could cause such a large crack? The pics: http://wavanagon.googlepages.com/amcheads Please help enlighten an aspiring Vanagon mechanic. Thanks for any advice/input/feedback/links/etc..... -- Chris 88 Vanagon GL (daily driver) 87 Westfalia (in progress) |
