8v Head rebuild

Recommended Posts

Right ive just got a Crossflow head which i want to rebuild. eventually it will go on my g60 ;-)

 

Ive never rebuilt a head before, the guy bought it from said he would do it for me but i want to learn ;-)

 

does anyone have a guide to rebuilding an 8v head?

 

also part numbers/links to where i can buy new parts if needs be

 

valve stem seals, retainers, springs, lifters, valve guides etc?

 

i was thinking of installing some 41mm inlet valves, i can do the machining at a friends business

 

where can i buy 41mm valves with 7mm stems? i can only find 40.5mm valves with 8mm stems!

 

also ive seen aftermarket Ti retainers, does anyone have experience with these?

 

also 'lightweight' hydraulic lifters but i suspect these are a vw part in a different box?

 

links;

 

retainers;
