|
|
Hi Guys,
I have an type4 - AP 1800 engine. Now I 've got offered 2 refurbished heads.
But how can I tell if these will fit my engine?
Can I use 2.0 heads on an 1800?
Rgds, Henrik |

Yes you can use 2.0L heads on a 1800. The 2.0L heads have smaller valves and a different combustion chamber than the 1800 heads so don't mix them. _________________ 70 Ghia Black convert-9/69 build date-stock w/133k 1600 SP-barn find now with a rebuilt tranny and engine

sorry to bring this thread back but it fit what I was needing to know.
Can someone comment on what else would need to be done to use 2.0 heads on a 1.8 P/C? i know the combustion chambers are smaller on the 2.0, not sure if it's enough to matter though. _________________ 1969 Beetle

They are pretty much bolt on unless you need the air injection system to work for some reason. |

If I'm looking to get new heads, should I get the 2.0 heads with the stock valve size or go up to the 1800 sized valves. i'm staying "stock" FI and exhaust in my 1.8. _________________ 1969 Beetle
