[sprocket007]

found another head, this one is a big valve head.





odd cam tho...

[nxqsabl]

I am not a mechanic, but I have heard of a G grind cam. I always thought it was a hi performance cam. Is that what you have there?

[sprocket007]

well after measuring the cam it is only a .40 lift on the intake lobe which is the standard lift on the common 8v head.

It is my understanding the G cam is more in the .42 or .44 lift range i belive also, I think the G cams were solid lifter ... but not sure about that.

[rabbitnothopper]

looks more specifically to be a lightened cam...interesting find

cc'ed the combustion chambers, looks like they are 33cc, for compression calculations.

How much did you pick that head up for? I have a 2E head I've been getting ready to sell, wondering what they'd run for used.

[sprocket007]

well the PG head came off a whole G60 engine I bought a few years back...it was 100 for the whole engine...

The big valve head pictured above was 30$

Im pretty thrifty but, I think the big valve heads fetch a few more dollars.

I would say $50 is a reasonable price depending on condition...

[inlovewithavdubengine]

Let me get this straight:

new valves: about $175 for set of 8
camshaft: at least $100
valve rockers (metal cap thingies): $90 for a set of 8
those little threaded plastic things that seal the fuel injectors to the head: $40 for a set of 4

Entire head assembly: $30
Makes sense.

[inlovewithavdubengine]

Just noting that because I planned to sell the 2E head to pay for incidental parts. With old Volkwagens it seems to go something like:

sweet-looking Cabriolet: $650
just the engine: $400
all the little replacement parts you need to make the damn thing run: $1800
basket full of b!tches: priceless

[sprocket007]

The 30-50 $ I speak of is just the head... used!


Spend as much as you like rebuilding it...that is up to you!!!

I take stuff apart to see the condition
you can lap down the valve seats yourself if the valves look good.
you shouldnt need new valve caps.
you dont need a new cam...
new stem seals are needed $12
there is cost involved in having a machine shop maybe check the head for warp, and condition of valve guides.
