Alright, I get your point.

I think I will settle for a new set of 85.5s, I don't think I wanna go for 87s as it's a single relief case.
But you mean the heads need to get cleaned up?

P.s. I think flycutting the heads already costs about $150 over here...

Or buy a set of Los Banditos for almost the same money.
Sell the manifolds, and make a copple of new ones.

i would still use 87's it dosent matter that is a single relief case yes i would redo the heads new guides,valve job and surface or flycut them you could put some dual ports on it for not much more $$ but then you need manifolds and dual port tin  I would just like to see you enjoy your car now that you went to all the trouble to redo it. there are just some things you cant go cheap on

The guys has a student budget, so every € is one euro Wink

As i said on the cal-look.nl forum i would go for a new set of cilinders/pistons 85.5. Keep the heads as they are. (or maybe some new mex.heads Smiley ?)

Then do a good rebuild with stock parts, no fancy stuff..

that noise could be a number of things the Problem is the engine is out and apart now and its kind of hard to try differnt things  I t is kind of hard to Help because I dont know what you can afford to spend fixing it? all I can tell you is what I would Do  but what you do is up to you keep in touch I will try to help in any way I can

i received the diagnose of my heads today.
and all i can say is that my heads are in pretty bad shape as far as the valve guides and valves go.
they're pretty much beyond the "minimum state"

the quote i got for repairing them is quite high, read total rebuild.
i'm hoping i can get them rebuild with good used valves and new guides and some labour on the valve seatings.

Dont use used Valves?? you are asking for trouble all you need is to get your engine back together and then drop a valve/ I would look in to a rebuilt set of heads or put a wanted add on the lounge I am sure someone has upgraded there motor here  come on guys help him out!!

 Don't put any more money into this engine. Buy some nice 40x35 DP heads, a 87mm piston/cyl kit (slip in) and a 74mm counterweighted crank (slip in too) and build a 1760cc.... In the meantime you could "snail" around town with a decent 1200...

if you don't drive like a mad men you can borrow my 1300 engine, it's only 6V but you can change that over from your old engine..
so enjoy my 1300 and save up for a decent engine and don't put a lot of effort into nothing here

Buy the C.W. Crank! Wait On The Carbs, A Strong Bottom End is The Key to Longivity In a VW Engine If you want the Motor to Perform and Last Build it Right  it may take Longer but it will pay off in the end. I think most Loungers in here will Agree Dont Go Cheap on the Bottom end Bigger Heads and Bigger Carbs Can Always Be Added down the Road If Money is Tight..
