i was under the impression that the heads were for sale, so i've just completed a competition spec head rebuild, only to realise the heads are fundamentally different inside. The standard cams are different too.......

Will the uprated high lift race spec cam i've got (for a mk1 gti) fit and run in my mk2 head?

If not - then i've got a mk2 gti Ported, polished, rebuilt head for sale!!!

If both are 1.8 and non hydraulic then yes, if the mk2 head is hydraulic then no.

if you convert the mk2 head to solid lifters it will
all the VW's have gone bar 1.
