I thought maybe French because you are in Canada.

I wonder if AMC is the original head manufacturer. Most VW owners would be
shocked to know how much of their VW was actually not made by VW but
manufactured by someone else? Just start looking at major components and you
start seeing Bosch and Behr.

Thanks,

Yep, i think French, then translate in a non elaborate English and in
between i lose some words :-)

I know a bit, at the time of that post i was at the shop and for fun i
called my head provider. I bought 38 AMC head so far in 6 years. So i have
at least 19 customers driving with AMC head, half of those have German
valves, i never heard back about any of those customers.

You make your own conclusion.
