I wont have the money till March but I want to put out the feelers for a set of heads that needs nothing other than being cut for the cylinders. Prefer 042 big port or 050's but may be open to any 40x35.5 or 42x37 ported heads as long as they are ready to run. Std. bore to 94mm are all fine.

Ive got a set of 050's that were on a 2332 and the motor was locked up so im not sure what their condition is,but they are sitting on the bench so when you get ready to buy give me a shout.

What do you want for them? Depending on price I may have enough now. I just cant swing new cost at the moment.

u do not want to buy mofoco heads i bought a set of 050s last april and maybe put 25 hours of run time on them and they r junk broke 2 dual springs tore apart to replace springs found the valve r junk then under futher inspection 2 of 4 guides r loose in head im tring to see if roy at mofoco will fix them but i will not run another set again i mean the castings r good but every thing else he is using just isnt any good theres nothing like 700 bucks by the time u have them cut for 94s and ported then 25 hours later there junk!!! now the ? is weather or not hell stand behind his product ??? time will tell

Got the pair from James today. About the only thing Im going to use is the castings. I was going to use the springs but Ill take your advice there. I got them cheap enough that its worth spending to get them right. I was mainly after the castings because they have some meat on them to port. Ill replace the valves, guides, seats & springs & have Jims custom VW port the hell out of em & counting everything I should end up around 600 or so ready to run, all new parts, ported & flowed. I can live with that. So much for my ready to run idea. Im just glad I didnt cough up 500+ new for em & have your problem. The 042's I bought new about 8 years ago were freakin fantastic. Too bad they went with my rails.

I bought some 042s in 2001and they ran great sold that buggy in 2005 and still going strong . the engine I have now have 042 on it so far so good but never had any dealings with the 050s

i got a buddy runnin 042s but he has control over his right foot maybe u guys do also but proud to say that i do not have it that something that i have never had but thats not the point point being that after 25 hours there junk i just expected more than half a season out of them no matter what i did i tore these apart to replace springs not to rebuild heads i guess i should have believed what i read about mofoco in other forums oh well im just trin to save some head aches like i said the 050 castings r good but the valvetrain is not

Like I said....Thanks to your input Ill replace the the servicable parts just to be on the safe side. I should end up with a decent set of heads when Im done although I really wasnt planning to rework a set.
