Re: Cylinder Heads
I'm not to sure, I doubt there is anyone local that would have much of an idea of how to do a vw head, I would look towards Vancouver, or Toronto to get it done. however if you want to buy a spare aba 8v head off of a gti, to avoid the down time let me know I might just have one for sale.... -
Re: Cylinder Heads
Bro, we use Built Rite. They are slow but awesome! I still say you should do a VR6 swap.

Re: Cylinder Heads
Alberta Chrome does as well. They are a machine shop, but there's a guy there (or at least who used to be) that's worked on VW's for the last 35 years.1989 Golf Diesel (2001 TDI powered before teh apocalypse)

Re: Cylinder Heads
The guy at alberta chrome has passed as far as I know. I doubt I would trust a port and polish to anyone in town. If you need a stock rebuild built rite is good.Comment

Re: Cylinder Heads
Yes, unfortunately, Heinze passed away a few years ago. The company was resumed by his shop manager. I'll be doing some work with them in coming months. We'll see how it goes.1989 Golf Diesel (2001 TDI powered before teh apocalypse)

Re: Cylinder Heads
Try Tom at Techworks I would say that if you could trust anyone to do custom internal modifications it would be him. Usually quite busy though!Comment

Re: Cylinder Heads
Tom at techworks has quite a reputation for amazing porting. they specialize in multi valve heads, but I am sure they could do any head.Comment
