I pulled a set of heads off of a 2.1 WBX today after five years of running time/20,000 miles and three coolant changes (always leftover blue BMW dealer coolant from my shop) and they looked great. Zero corrosion on either, it had mismatched heads, one original VW head and the other was an AMC, both looked great. Cheapo Chinese piston set looked great too. VW head was leaking from the manufacture stamp.
