VW Air cooled Heads NEW vs REBUILT and buying heads at the swap meet!!!

[@slingbuzz9148]

definitely learned my lesson with used heads, have 5 pairs that need to be stripped to goto scrap yard.

[@Mikefngarage]

yet people keep wanting top dollar at the swap meet.

[@martinharris5017]

I actually kept my factory heads (after inspection) and stripped them, ported them, and put in new valve guides. My stock valves were in good condition, so they got re-used after cleaning. I use swivel-foot adjusters on the stock rockers and single HD valve springs for the W100 cam. I did consider aftermarket heads but for a fraction of the cost I got pretty good performance out of what I had on hand, and it was fun modding the heads too!

👍😊 Good info Mike. Have a great 🦃 my friend.

Car craft is great. Lowest prices. I don't know how they do it. Not price gouging? It's kind of crazy. Always cheaper. Even with shipping.

[@Mikefngarage]

for engine parts or EMPI....they are the absolute best.

With slipper foot rockers I always always use lash caps

[@Mikefngarage]

[@bigears4014]

Where are these $150 heads , a quick look nothing under $260 and most around $300

[@kombikevo]

Stock dual port heads are $169.90 on their website, pretty amazing price

[@bigears4014]

@kombikevo whose Web site

[@Mikefngarage]

@@kombikevo yea the stock ones.....the other ones have big valves single high rev springs and stainless exhaust near 300. and that is super cheap as well. yup stock on their website 169.99....you cant beat that 209 with single high rev springs. you cant buy any swap meet head and do them for less than that. especially if you paid like 50 each for them. Beware.
