Please help with cylinder heads on a 1970 Type I Volkswagen Beetle engine? I have recently rebuilt a 1970 Type I Volkswagen Beetle engine. There are no head gaskets on these engines; a recess in the head slips over a protruding sleeve on the top of the cylinder. When I was finished torquing the heads down I looked to see if the head was butted up against the cylinders, and I noticed that there was about a 3/16" gap between the head and cylinders. Should this gap be there (it is uniform and on both heads), or should the head be butted up against the cylinders?

Is it safe to keep cylinder head temperature from dropping too fast in a rapid descent by leaning the mixture? After letting out skydivers in a Cessna 182 from 10,000 feet, I try not to let the engine cool quicker than 1 degree fahrenheit every 3 seconds (as measured by cylinder head temperature on the coldest cylinder.) Besides descending with power (15-18 inches on manifold pressure) I like to lean the mixture somewhat to keep more heat in the engine as a further measure against shock cooling. Any ideas how much leaning is okay and how much is too much? Thanks!

How important is it to have your cylinder head resurfaced when replacing your head gasket? I have a 1996 j-body sedan with a 2.2 engine. I have an external leak in my head gasket (leaking coolant), that apparently is not affecting compression and there is no coolant/oil mix. I narrowed down my choices to 2 main options for fixing it: 1. Have it fixed locally for about $1000 including gasket kit, resurfacing, labour and tax. 2. Have it fixed by a friend who is a Toyota tech for about $500 (parts/labour/tax). But I would need to drive the car for about 300 hwy kms, and would likely not be able to have the cylinder head resurfaced. Any thoughts? Would also appreciate suggestions of other associated repairs/maintenance that I should consider (timing chain and tensioner were done 40,000km ago, coolant changed 10,000 km ago). Thanks! Thanks for the answers so far.. a few more points to clarify: Car has never overheated, and is still running perfectly (just leaking coolant). The car also has 260,000 km, and the 2.2 engine is prone to head gasket problems. As for cost: $228 (Canadian, tax incl) is parts cost for either option. I don't have necessary tools, so if my friend does it, extra cost would be for the cost he's saving me vs having it done at the mechanic.

NASCAR Cylinder Heads for Toyota? I haven't followed NASCAR since the early 90's and I know at that time the cylinder heads and blocks had to be available over the counter to the General public. I work at a Toyota Dealership at the Parts Counter and cannot find any info on the heads Toyota uses. In fact I can't find any info at all on Toyota's NASCAR V8.

Has Nascar changed that rule? No longer a NASCAR fan, Consider NASCAR the WWF of Motorsports.
