Re: need advice on blown 16v... (jedihendrix)
if the damage was only to the head you may be able to find someone here on the 'tex that is sellin a head for fairly cheap... although it depends on which head you had (1.8 or 2.0) the 2.0 heads can normally be found here on the 'tex from guys who put a 1.8 head on there 2.0 block... i think the going price for a complete 16v (minus altenator and pumps) around here is like $500-$800... alhough if you call every junkyard in your area there may be one that has one that doesn't know what it is and will give it to you for like $100-$300 (don't laugh I saw a low mileage 2.0 16v from a auto. passat go for like $125 once...) good luck though.
