[Vwdiesel] head parts available

[Shalyn Shourds]

Well, I don't want to jinx myself, but the TDI looks like it's going to 
keep going.  I have, in the pile of parts leftover, the old head.  It's 
the one that thirty miles after a rebuild, the timing belt failed on and 
was mangled to the point that a good machine shop (the kind that makes 
700 hp Toyota engines and will rebuild your Tiger Sunbeam) didn't want 
to touch it.  That being said, if anyone is interested, I won't need 
it.  It started out as an ALH head before the impromptu machine work.   
There are two lifters stuck in their bores and a handful of bent 
valves.  I believe the camshaft is OK, though.  I don't exactly have a 
profile gauge for it, but it's not missing chunks, though there is a 
light mist of rust (forgot I'd set it outside one night). 

If anyone's feeling adventurous and wants it all, or wants to make me an 
offer on the parts that are probably still good, let me know.  
Otherwise, I'll just have a $1200 doorstop (the whole job cost). 

Contact me off-list--delete the [VWDiesel] in the subject.  I use that 
to sort my mail and I'm usually a little behind reading the postings 
from this list.
