head labour for keeping stock valves should be around $200 per head I would think.

What all do they do for the $200 per head...

Probably replace the valves, seats, and guides.

HAM will likely go further than that, and it may cost more than $200. He'll time-cert the plug bosses, replace all the studs including S/S exhaust studs, mabye upgrade the valves, and springs too depending on how hard you want to turn it.

Len has done 2 sets of heads for me so far, a set for my 2270, and a set for a customer with a 914 2.0. His work is EXCELLENT :agree: and very thourough with great attention to detail (he radiused my valve stems for Christ's sake ) He stays pretty busy, so count on 2-3 months turn around time.

Go ahead an get in line for the lifters now too, 'cause it took me 6 months to get mine .

PARTS:
1.7 litre rockers
Hydro-cam havin' 2.0 litre Vanagon rocker spacers (they're solid)
911 valve adjusters (they swivel)
Schaedeck 30mm Type I oil pump
WebCam cam gear clearanced for the oil pump
Full-flow pump cover (if you want more oil volume than the stock filter)
A pair of DRLA40's from eBay carb man in Italy
Linkage, hex bar and filters from CB
Intakes from AC.net (tall one's, for use with the DTM)
Ahnendorp/BAS header, or Tangerine superheader ($$$$)

Ask Jake about some sealing tins if you didn't get any with your DTM, or I have the templates to roll your own if you need 'em.

Well I will see just what condition they are in after I get them all cleaned up in the parts washer at work. If they need any large amout of work I will send them off to HAM to get done. This is supposed to be a budget engine and already my wallet is hurting with all the options. I feel confident in replacing the valve guides if they are worn out but anymore than that and I think paying for the experience is cheaper than screwing up.

Well the title says it all. I tried veiwing the price list after I downloaded it and it is in a format not supported by my software. If someone has the pricelist in their computer could you please tell me the price for the 21152 and the 21152E header systems. Thanks...

Prices in Euro (I believe you need to take 16% off for taxes):
21152 = 303.90
21152E = 456.39

They do specify this with the pricing though:
"Volkswagen Pricelist for our German Catalouge. Not for Export!!!"

Ouch, with the exchange rate and the shipping that could become very expensive. Is there a distributor for their exhaust here in the United States...

nope. mine was johnH. there just aren't many options out there. check out LAPerformance. FAT has a setup that is quiet pack looking and supposedly restrictive on larger engines, but probably OK for what you are talking about. and then there is Tangerine$$$$$$$, but damn nice. seems to me there is a market gap there for the US. anyone want to go into business?
