I found a vendor that had OE VW heads a few years ago, so I ordered one just to see what they were like. For $76 it came fully populated with valves, springs, etc, but when I pulled it apart I didn't care for what the valves, springs, and keepers looked like so I called them and asked about their price on a bare head. They reported that they had bare heads also, and that the price was $76. I think that says a lot about the quality of those extra parts. I tend to be VERY careful about my choice of valves, and I only use OE VW keepers and springs. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
