Mk1 and mk2 golf cylinder head

[Craigwilson]

Im looking at a cylinder head off of a mk1 golf gti on ebay it looks much the same its off of a DX engine will it fit a PB engine.

Yes if it is a 1.8 but if it is non hyd then it is a backward step tbh.

Jst compared it with a mk2 pb head its exactley the same apart from the holes to mount the injector brackets which the dx head doesnt have.

That is a non hydraulic head as it has 5 cam caps.

It will still fit but better to sick with hydraulic if you can.

solid lifter heads generally have a higher rev limit but a standard ECU will still limit the revs to (6200?) anyway

From what I've read tuners prefer solid lifters, but they're more maintenance, in terms of valve lash, and in my experience are more noisy (probably cause the lash hasn't been set properly!)
