[madmax53]

hi all

 could anyone please tell me if a golf g60 1.8 8v head is the same as a 1.8 8v gti head?
 as i have blown the head on the g60 and im ment to be racing it soon.

 cheers

g60 head is heat treated and has sodium valves... pb head wont do the trick.

 what would happen then if i did use one?

G60 has slightly bigger zaust ports I think as well, whereabouts do you live?
Plus the cam in a PB head is all wrong, though you can just fit your old G60 one if its not damaged.  What have you done to the old head then?

it's blown a hole from one of the water ways and also eaten some of the head between the two valves.
 I can  get the head welded , skimmed for £200 , but they cant guarantee it as im racing it.
