OEM Volkswagen › Cylinder head

Hut VeeDub 7 Feb 2024, 17:24

Rating 4.0

Performance:

A second used head, this time from a 2017 model, was sourced and shipped for $600 ($500 for the head, $100 shipping) and was rebuilt by a head specialist. His bill was about $800 and included new exhaust valve guides, a valve job, milling/skimming the head, removing and replacing six oil plugs and thorough cleaning. Total cost for the rebuilt used head was $1,400, a relative bargain compared to the $4,000 VW wants for a bare new head.

Pros: cost-effective, good value

Vehicle: Volkswagen Touareg

Performance:

The cross flow (ABA) has bigger ports, especially the intake side! I mean sided by side in my garage, instantly noticeably bigger, like it would take immense porting to get a PG to ABA size.

Pros: bigger ports, thinner stem size

Performance:

On the other hand, head was fully rebuilt. Previous owner(s) were probably changing oil every 50.000miles, with cheapest one available, which led to all sorts of gunk accumulating on valve guides, finally making it impossible for valves to shut completely. Resurfaced it, put in new valves, guides, seales... Set of gaskets and head bolts later, it fired up.

Pros: head fully rebuilt, new valves

Cons: gunk on valve guides

Vehicle: Volkswagen
