Paging KombiKim 1.8L heads (**are these heads good??**)

Andy - August 26th, 2003 at 09:34 PM

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 - August 26th, 2003 at 10:29 PM

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

Andy - August 26th, 2003 at 10:47 PM

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

kombikim - August 27th, 2003 at 08:51 AM

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

Andy - August 27th, 2003 at 09:21 AM

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

kombikim - August 27th, 2003 at 09:37 AM

OK OK , I am thinking about it

Andy - August 27th, 2003 at 01:46 PM

Come on man buy buy buy, don't miss out :mad:

kombikim - August 27th, 2003 at 01:50 PM

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 - August 27th, 2003 at 01:53 PM

C'mon Kim

2 heads are better than 1!!!

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

kombikim - August 27th, 2003 at 02:03 PM

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 - August 27th, 2003 at 02:47 PM

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 - August 27th, 2003 at 03:39 PM

: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

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

:cool: :thumb

kombikim - August 27th, 2003 at 06:03 PM

Andy - August 27th, 2003 at 06:07 PM

Andy - August 28th, 2003 at 04:32 PM
