Re: Cylinder head needed



Hi scott

i have a 16v roc that had a 2.0 head put on thanks to a bad timing
belt.  the guy I bought the car off of said that he shaved the head a
little.  
my roc flys for a 1.8.  I can beat my friends stock passat 2.0 engined
scirocco.  I don't think that changing the heads makes a -That big of a
deal
