RE: [CLUBVAC] 84 gti head

["Scott Williams" <sfwilliams@home.com>]

I previously believed that the Scirocco head that you found was hydraulic. In order to use a hydro head on a block set up for a solid lifter head you have to do some conversion work.

In your case since you're doing a direct solid to solid head swap, you have nothing to worry about. Sorry to confuse the issue... :^)
