Potentially silly question about heads
Sorry if this is a silly question but I have noticed that many vw parts places here and overseas sell heads individually. Does this mean that the
heads are the same and could be used on either the left or right side? Once again sorry if this is a stupid question but we are used to V8s where you
almost always buy a pair of heads.

Be aware that all heads are not created equal. They still need to be run as matched pairs.
The compression can vary ie 1600tp replacement heads have a smaller combustion chamber and therefore a higher compression ratio than some original fit
heads.
Try getting that to run smooth!
