<P><BR><BR></P></DIV>
<P>I was in a frightfull hurry assembling the car so I don't recall how the valves looked and failed to take photos.&nbsp;I do know that it has shim type lifters. Does anyone know how to determine the head type by the casting numbers? Someone with a stock&nbsp;JH&nbsp;run out to the garage and write their numbers down for me will ya?</P>
<P>thanx Ass-non 86 8v</P>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Well Anson. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Do you have any photos of you putting it together? 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Do you remember if the valves looked approximately the same size? 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;(if so not big valve -- small valve) 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;did you do a valve Shim adjustment... that would mean you have mech 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;lifters? 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;there is another combinations. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;38mm valves (not 40mm) and hydro lifters. but that would be a GX head.

<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; Guess what time it is folks! Yup that's right! Time for Anson's daily 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; stupid scirocco question. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; For those of you who are new here I'll explain how it works, first Anson 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; asks an immensely stupid question then you, the audience gets to hose him 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; down with gasoline and light him on fire! 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; Uh yea so here goes the question, how do you, or I for that matter 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; identify a big valve solid lifter head? I suspect that the head on my sad 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; old scirocco may be of the small valve sort. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; Here are the casting numbers

<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; I did assemble the engine myself but at the time I did'nt know there were 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; different valve sizes, yup thats correct I used to be even more ignorant 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; than I am today. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; Tenk you veddy much
