  Hey Guys,I bought an engine from the classifeds here and was told it was a good engine but have found out it needs to be rebuilt. I need to know if I get 1.8 heads for this 2.0 will I suffer any loss of power? I found a small crack on the one head I have removed so far. the crack is right next to the plug hole. I know I should have this fixed if I reuse these heads but has anyone reistalled heads with these small cracks with success? I can get these heads that are pictured that say they are 2.0 heads but they look like 1.8 heads. Do you think they might be 2.0 bus heads? What do you guys think? Randy |

Not sure what you wallet looks like, but the CNC heads Jake have are pretty nice. I looked at them in person and on the dyno.
Heads will make more difference in HP than any other item. |
