I left your e-mail address at work.
Here's the pics of the type 4 1.8L heads. A little shabby, but take your pick
:thumb
whoops, got the pics a little out of order. the rest of these heads are at the bottom. The barrel seat has been machined on these.

And the other set. Valves a little recessed, one helicoil in the missing plug, and a couple of studs missing. They have not been machined down though.

Spark plugs are all fine. Put your sump plug where the missing one is, Kombi's will run well on 3 cyl. as I have discovered, don't worry about the leaking oil though, you won't notice it once you drive away :o

they are fairly rare, I have been trying to stage a not at fault head-on with an SVX, so i can bid at auction, but this has only resulted in some nasty near misses🙁

:bounce OK, thanks, I will take the best one, have sent u2u, my problems are nearly over,
I can probably make the 1.8 combustion camber a bit bigger & shave the 2L head a bit, so it won't be so bad
