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.

The end is near!!

kombikim ·

geez I dunno which set to pick, just wondering how long the recessed valves would last:alien

Andy ·

How longs a piece of string?
Sitting on the shelf they have indefinite life 😀

kombikim ·

are the spark plugs ok or do I need to get new ones?

Andy ·

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
sodoyouwannemorwhat???

kombikim ·

OK OK , I am thinking about it

Andy ·

Come on man buy buy buy, don't miss out 😠

kombikim ·

how long have I got to make up my mind which I want before you post them for sale? can I just get one head??🙁

Bizarre ·

C'mon Kim

2 heads are better than 1!!!

Just wack one of those Subi SVX flat six's in there!!! :bounce

kombikim ·

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🙁

Andy ·

Head???? you want head???
Your askin' the wrong bloke mate 😀😀😀
Your welcome to take one, that'll give you a 1.9L type 4. 1.8L on the right, and 2L on the left. :o

kombikim ·

: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

Andy ·

:o:alien:o:bounce:jesus:P:kiss

😎 :thumb

kombikim ·

🙁 no well ok - bit dumb, did not think about using shims to match them, anyway it will get me back on the road
can I go home now?

Andy ·

Got home fool.
Heads are on there way to Perth 😀

Andy ·

No comments on condition from any one?

kombikim ·

we coulda been lucky or could end up sad


I go home now
