The AMC-built heads we sell are identical to what you can buy anywhere else (we never even open the box!)—except for the price. Because we buy directly from AMC, we simply can’t be beat. And as a bonus, you get our added stress-riser–elimination machining found only on GoWesty heads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"2205\" data-end=\"2208\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2210\" data-end=\"2274\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2214\" data-end=\"2274\"\u003eGoWesty-Built AMC Heads Receive the Following Treatment:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2275\" data-end=\"2676\"\u003e• Unbox and completely disassemble\u003cbr data-start=\"2309\" data-end=\"2312\"\u003e• Measure valve guide clearance\u003cbr data-start=\"2343\" data-end=\"2346\"\u003e• Measure valve seat eccentricity; perform a three-angle valve grind as needed\u003cbr data-start=\"2424\" data-end=\"2427\"\u003e• Measure cylinder counterbore depth\u003cbr data-start=\"2463\" data-end=\"2466\"\u003e• Blend valve seat to combustion chamber using a radius cutter\u003cbr data-start=\"2528\" data-end=\"2531\"\u003e• Sand\/blend areas between valve seats and around spark plugs\u003cbr data-start=\"2592\" data-end=\"2595\"\u003e• Measure and polish valve stems\u003cbr data-start=\"2627\" data-end=\"2630\"\u003e• Face valves\u003cbr data-start=\"2643\" data-end=\"2646\"\u003e• Final clean and reassemble\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2678\" data-end=\"2880\"\u003eThe result is a cylinder head that is better than the standard AMC assembly, vastly superior to the original Volkswagen head in every respect, and better than any other cylinder head available anywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2882\" data-end=\"3306\"\u003eIt’s often said, “You get what you pay for,” but that’s not always true. Many retailers sell the same AMC-built cylinder heads—without even opening the box—at the same price or even higher than our GoWesty-built heads, which include our exclusive stress reduction feature. Nobody knows the waterboxer better than we do, and our experience delivers genuine added value. Buying a GoWesty AMC cylinder head is money well spent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3308\" data-end=\"3570\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3308\" data-end=\"3324\"\u003eBottom line:\u003c\/strong\u003e You can get a \u003cstrong data-start=\"3339\" data-end=\"3349\"\u003ebetter\u003c\/strong\u003e out-of-the-box AMC head at GoWesty for a \u003cstrong data-start=\"3391\" data-end=\"3406\"\u003elower price\u003c\/strong\u003e than anywhere else—guaranteed.
