Do a search, bottom left corner of the page as this comes up maybe twice a week at least

Who's it from, the cheapest complete head I could find was up over a $ 1000 with delivery, could get a bare head for that price but not a complete head, Regards Frank.

I bought a complete head (valves etc installed) & essential items (elring gasket, head bolts etc) total under $800 at the favourable exch rate then applying from Turners in the UK a couple of months ago - it took 3 days to get here. They were very helpful.

Keep your orders under $AU1000 or split them up if necessary, it should go straight through

Some of the advice I received and my experience here: http://www.aulro.com/afvb/technical-...ad-gasket.html

In that thread you could take note of the advice I received on cleaning and the experience I had with torquing.

Done a couple of thousand km with it, so far - so good.
