VW HELP!!!!

Hey,

I've got a friend who's looking for a reputable head shop in the local area, preferably one with experience with VW's. He just finished a buildup on his Jetta only to have a his exhaust valves bend and break on him on first crank-over. Needless to say he's bit upset with the shop in the town he lives that "told" him what they did to his head. He's got new valves on the way, but what he's looking for is to have 8 valve guides installed as well as 1 exhaust port seat installed (no grinding required). I'm pretty stupid when it comes to VW's so this is all the info I have on the engine:

97 Jetta
2.0 DOHC
Crossflow head

Any help is appreciated.

Matt

This is where you type a bunch of shit about how awesome your car is. FACT: It's been scientifically proven that the more shit you write in here the less cool your car is. Nine times out of ten the majority of people who talk shit down here don't even have any of the crap they talk about on their car. I drive an 8 year old domestic and barely give two shits about it. I beat the hell out of it and it begs for more, just like your girlfriend. Go ahead, cut me off. I dare ya.

This place in Kitchener does lots of this kind of work (engine rebuilts, swaps)

I get all the work done on my car there (the stuff i can't do myself)

Foreign Automotive
519-894-9551
Ask for Jason and tell him Nick w/ Silver Golf told you to call

His pricing is very good.

The shop has 14 years experiance in VW, but they can do other cars as well.
