We offer two excellent options for you: As-delivered from AMC, “right out of the box” fully assembled by AMC for the best price you will find anywhere, or a thoroughly gone-through by GoWesty - for no more than some retailers get for the “out of the box” AMC head.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003c\/strong\u003e All 1983-91 waterboxers.

The Spanish AMC casting is the best there is, but a complete AMC cylinder head assembly is not as good as it can be right out of the box. If you are going to spend your hard earned money on new cylinder heads, we highly recommend you go the extra mile and select our GoWesty-built heads.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe purchase AMC cylinder heads directly from the source in bulk, as complete assemblies, ready to bolt on. These AMC-built heads we sell are no different than what you can get anywhere else (they never even get taken out of the box!), except for the price—we buy directly from AMC, so we've got everyone beat there! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe GoWesty-built AMC head get:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• \u003c\/span\u003eUnbox and completely disassembled\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• \u003c\/span\u003eMeasure valve guide clearance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• \u003c\/span\u003eMeasure valve seat eccentricity: three angle valve grind if\/as needed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• \u003c\/span\u003eMeasure cylinder counter bore depth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• \u003c\/span\u003eBlend valve seat to combustion chamber with a radius cutter in the seat and guide machine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• \u003c\/span\u003eSand\/blend between valve seats and around spark plug\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• \u003c\/span\u003eMeasure and polish valve stems\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• \u003c\/span\u003eFace valves\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• \u003c\/span\u003eFinal clean all parts and re-assemble\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat we end up with is a cylinder head that is better than the AMC-built cylinder head assembly, and miles better than the original Volkswagen example in all regards.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is said \"You get what you pay for,\" but that is not always the case. It is simply a crime that most retailers sell the same AMC-built cylinder heads without even opening the box for the same, or an even higher price than we sell our GoWesty-built heads! Nobody knows more about the waterboxer, and our experience represents true added value, making buying a GoWesty AMC cylinder head money very well spent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBottom line: you can get a regular out-of-the box AMC head at GoWesty for a lower price than anywhere else, guaranteed.
