Here's my interpretation...

1) valves are not bucket lifter type i/e not recessed into head, no place
for lifter. Looks more like a pushrod engine head that would have rockers
installed rather than OHC head.
2) no cam bearing mount bosses (consistent with being pushrod engine head)
3) exhaust & intake ports appear to be in the wrong configuration based on
my VW experience. (each exh. port on a VW has a stud above & below.)
4) in picture 2, you can tell that there isn't a return galley off the
front of the head/block like on my 81 diesel, though early VW motors may
not have this...

Thats just all that springs to mind..

take care,

Steve
