This head had been on my mk3 polo GT for 150k miles, and the cam bearings and tappets were going on it, so i changed it for a low mileage one back in February.
I cannot sell it as a fully working head, so I'm not going to try to lol.
Instead, i would recommend its used as perhaps practicing porting on?
Or making into some sort of polo based artwork or shrine?
It did still work when it was on last, it was just noisy. It would probably run for another 50k, but eventually i presume the camshaft would seize in it or it would start damaging the camshaft. Who knows!
There are small scratches on the camshaft seats and caps that arent visible, but you can feel them with your fingernail. It could be possible to ground these and fit some real cam bearings, but doubt its worth the hassle.
The head has also been skimmed once already by the looks of it, and I'm not sure if it would survive another skimming.
It still has the spark plugs, valves, tappets etc in it, which worked when it was on the car, but have a lot of miles on them and i wouldnt recommend using any of them for serious mileage.
Its also missing a couple of the cam cap bolts/studs, as i needed them for the new head.
Pretty much a written off early cylinder head from a high mileage GT.
Collection only from Coventry.
Need it getting rid of or it goes to the scrap metal blokes.
Any takers?
