Actually, new German heads are not available.  Even Volkswagen themselves
are using heads made by AMC-Spain.  AMC's watercooled heads are just fine,
but their aircooled heads have less than a stellar reputation.  I have the
watercooled ones for around $379, but I sell the aircooled AVP rebuilt heads
rather than the AMC aircooled heads, since the AVP's have much better valve
seats.  They are $179 exchanged.
