So the 2L head would bolt onto my KR bottom end with no modification with better power and cooling? What about the CIS system I currently have on my car? Is that the same as well?

You guys are throwing out all of these head style numbers and I'm just a little lost. I'm not a VW... Well I wasn't a VW guy. So I'm trying to learn all this ****. So correct me if I'm wrong but you're saying the 2.0 16v head and the 1.8 16v PL head will work on my 1.8 16v KR block. Is that what's going on here?

No worries man. I'm sure I can find something that works. Do you happen to know if the 2.0 16v head can bolt up to the 1.8 16v?

Honestly I completely forgot to update my profile. I left England in November and am in the states now. Which makes getting parts even harder for me.

Where are you located and what kind of price would you want from the head?

I don't need cams I just need a head. Honestly I probably only need valves but I'm too lazy to just replace them. That's why I was looking for a head.

I was actually planning on swapped both cams. From what I've found the "euro" cams are a little more aggressive.

Thanks for the tip man. From what I understand from that post it will work for me to use the head that I'm getting this weekend. Thank god for that. I was getting a little worried about it.

I am the guy that posted on vortex. I figured the more I put the question out there the better off my chances are to find an answer.

Hey guys I have a 1990 Corrado 1.8 16v. I imported my Corrado from the UK to the US. I'm currently having a few issues and I'm trying to figure out how much of a difference there is from the kr to the pl 16v. I'm pretty sure I vent a valve due to timing belt failure on startup. I'm not a long time Vw guy and I'm pretty lost when it comes to what I can and can not do with this motor. Does anyone know if I can swap a pl 16v head onto the kr bottom end currently in my car? I have learned that the cams in the kr and a bit more aggressive than the pl but other than that I haven't found anything saying the motors are different. I'd appreciate any insight into this little dilemma if anyone knows anything that could be helpful to me. My worries go beyond the bent valve and the heads though. Can I use most parts from the pl on my car? I need to be able to fix when she breaks and we all know vws can be a little steep when it comes to repairs so the last thing I need to to ship all my parts from the UK to the US.

So I finally got a multimeter on the wiring for the car. It looks like the relays from the uprated loom have gone bad. Is this common on these looms? From how it sounded they were supposed to be pretty good.

I've taken a closer look and it looks to me that it already has a replacement loom. Would it be the same situation? Just replace the old loom?

It's a 1990 1.8L 16V
