Re: [T3] ENGINE STILL ON THE TABLE

Keith,

The top heater ducts were disconnected and the air was left to
blast out into the engine compartment, I do not think my heads benefited
from the lack of air.

My compression was around under 6.5:1 (90 lbs). I admit my highway speeds 
are excessive (75 to 80, normal speed here), I guess that can damage 
these engines with inferior Brazilian OEM heads. So you mean Gene 
Berg sells only German heads modified to his specs. Can I get these
 original VW marked German heads from a VW dealer for my EFI or 
are there cheaper vendors that you know of ? German heads never
have any problems with cracking? Let me know. I want 
the most logitivity I can get. By the way I just raised my compression 
by removing the .060 inch shims and replacing with .040 inch to burn
the fuel better (for gas mileage and power). I may look into Mexican
heads at the VW dealers in Tijuana, maybe there better or worse
what do you think.
