golf/polo 1.1/1.3 head

4v6 · 01-01-10, 10:53 AM

Looking for the above cylinder head to have a look over with an eye to improvement.

I know the smaller capacity engines arent everyones idea of power but i like to see the underdog win occasionally.

Condition dosnt really matter so long as its near enough complet as im only going to use it for test purposes and see what they make vs whats possible.

Cheap would be good, free would be better...

how old are you looking for ? i have a 1980's polo head that was re-conned around somewhere

I used to have a h reg polo 1.3 gt coupe. It was proper fast that little 1.3 used to blow enough mk2 golf gti's, even the series 2 and 3 sports I used to have

Not too worried about the age as its only for experimental porpoises (got the dolphin joke in...yes!

) just to see what theyre able to do stock and what can be gotten out of them.

Kully, yeah as i recall the 1.3 gt's were a bit of a little pocket rocket, would be good to get an idea of what the stock heads make and what they can produce.

Got a 1.3 mk2 golf complete engine here tony.... Not quite sure what to do with it at present tbh....
Also about to scrap a 1.6GTi mk1 golf cylinder head unless you want it as a freebie?

Hi Jay, id not need the whole engine so if its in good nick id sell it in one piece if i were you, pointless to strip it down if it can be sold as a runner for someone mate.

Thanks for the offer of the 1.6 but thats basically as per the 10 valve heads so ill probably not learn anything extra there.

Thanks anyway tho.

Mk1 1600 gti heads are flat, with combustion chamber in the pistons. totally different to the later 1800s and non gti 1600s. the flat head was only ever used on gtis or early 80 gtes(water outlet between 1&2 rather than 2&3) Rare heads now.

Got a choice of two. One's a 1272cc early mechanical head off a HK engine. Other's off a hydraulic headed MH. Done 168k and 74k respectively.
