well before it stoped it was a bored and balanced 1.6 with big manly
valves 40.5 & 36 and ported and cam was scatt c 35 grind with weber
but head was bent and had cracks under 5 valve seats and had washed
the bore aswell . so i went to doner car 77 bored and deck block
and machined crank and balanced cause other was wornin thrust.
cam was pitted had reground. but spare head was a banana and they
broke it trying to get it straight , big spanner in works. so i have big valves and cam but no head for them.

Welcome mate! Looks a good Golf in the making. C'mon, you guys.... surely someone has a spare head lying around Help this guy out!
