partsplaceinc ® tdi d for all volkswagens heal s cal parts common to rabbit jetta golf fox scirocco `77-92 daily driver section cylinder heads 1.5 to tdi® our heads are done right rebuilt head what does it mean depends on who s talking water-cooled vw® in-line 4-cylinder engines from 1974 to 1998 are all basically the same design this family of engines includes 1500 1600 1700 1800 gas engines and 1500 and 1600 and some 1900 diesel engines the engines while different here and there are very similar many parts from a 1500 gas engine will fit on an 1800 gas or 1600 diesel it s a great basic design generally the shortblock assembly will run 250,000 miles without any additional work the head generally needs work at 150,000 miles if your engine runs out of water and the head warps or if your diesel drops a valve or if you have 100,000 miles on your engine you need a rebuilt head a valve job valves ground or a dozen other names you may be offered a valve job for $40.00 plus 6 a valve and $5 a guide or some such seemingly low number caution the factory says always replace head bolts job turns out to be not so cheap the head was warped and they didn t find it until it was all rebuilt there was an internal leak undetected until it was reinstalled on the engine the head was milled too far and the valves hit the pistons vw® head work is not for everyone many shops that do a hundred american car heads wreck many vw® heads if you are on a budget we offer good tested and guaranteed used head assemblies we sell parts valves guides springs if you are an excellent mechanic but generally your best bet is to buy a remanufactured head from the partsplace our heads are remanufactured by companies that specialize in remanufacturing vw® heads they do other aluminum heads such as ford escort and audi® but their main business is vw® heads many things can go wrong the head can be warped the center of the head is higher than the ends when you bolt it down there is a space or gap in the center and the head leaks between the two center cylinders or between the cylinder and a bolt hole or oil or water port the typical machine shop grinds the head or surfaces the head this means if the space or gap is 0.010 then they take 0.010 off each end until each end is level with the middle again sounds simple but the entire head is warped not just the head surface so when you bolt it down again you are bending the cam up 0.010 if you are leveling the bottom the top and cam will be bent this is just a little thing which the typical machine shop forgets this is not a problem in many heads because they don t have an overhead cam riding in a bearing block without cam bearing vw® heads do not have any cam bearings if the cam is bent or under tension it just wipes out the bearing blocks and itself our shop remanufactures the head by completely disassembling the head to the original casting and makes the whole thing over again the casting is heated until it is plastic the head is bent in a press back into shape similar to a forging process then heat treated all over again so the head is straight before it is surfaced therefore the cam is straight this is just one of the differences in a remanufactured head and the valve job by the local machine shop the local machine shop might be great on a small block chevy but don t take your vw® head there our deluxe remanufactured heads have the valves seats guides springs pucks adjusting springs and cam installed lubricated the valves are adjusted you just bolt them on but please horror stories the cheap read on
