What do you say to a machinist to make 1.7 heads work on a 2.0?
I'm halfway through a top-end job on my new to me 78 Westfalia. Just about to swap on the rebuilt heads I got off the Samba and they don't fit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Same exact casting number, but no go. I'm guessing when they were rebuilt, they had them set up for a 1.7, combustion chamber is different too. I'm royally screwed, cause I needed this job done tonight. Also, can anyone recommend a shop in the greater Denver area that could do this fast? Thanks Samson |

The best place here in town, IMHO, is Kaiser Industries (BTW they do at least SOME of the machine work for painters). They are located on S.Jason Street just off of Sante Fe. PH#303.777.7678
They recently did a Vr6 head for me. Good work, very curtious and Knowledgeable. They are open tomorrow at 8am. Tell them Corby sent ya (the guy with the VR6 Head). GOOD LUCK (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
