I've always felt that using the short SPs here made this a weak point in the head. Indeed, the dual port heads tend to develop cracks between the valve seats and the SP threads, as well as between the 2 valve seats. > These come in EFI versions that need a mod to install the T-3 sensor > (has much bigger threaded hole) or in carb versions that you need to > tap a proper hole for the EFI sensor. Good heads with VW casted on > them and they come on the New Old 2002 Bug I'm confused here. These heads come in an EFI version with the threaded hole, but the hole is too big for our sensor? Or is the boss cast in and left blank, so that you can drill and tap it yourself? What's the price on a regular head? How about an EFI head? (with valves, etc and bare?) Or is there a web site that covers all this? -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
