Subject:Mixing AMC and VW Heads
From:Craig Oda - Personal email

Only one of my cylinder heads is leaking right now and I want to
attempt to save money by just buying one head.

Are most new heads AMC heads?  Should I go with a rebuilt head?  I'm
thinking of either Bug Patch or VolksCafe.

I know it is recommended that I replace both heads, but I'm sinking a
lot of money into the van and want to see if I can conserve on cash
wisely.  I don't want to be too risky, but I have a feeling most
people just change one head.  I think my current heads are original
VW.
