What It Is
A complete replacement cylinder head from AMC for the ALH engine, ready to bolt on and run. It comes fully loaded rather than as a bare casting you'd need to build up yourself.
What's Included
Valves, camshaft, and head bolts, all installed and ready for install.
What's Not Included
The head gasket is sold separately. Order it alongside this head rather than assuming it's bundled in.
What to Pair With It
Since this ships without a gasket, a cylinder head install kit covering the gasket and related hardware is the natural add-on, along with a timing belt kit if you're already this deep into the engine.
Fitment
1998-2003 Volkswagen New Beetle TDI and 1999.5-2003 Golf and Jetta TDI, all with the ALH engine.
Common Questions
Does this include the head gasket?
No, the head gasket is sold separately and needs to be ordered alongside this head.
Is the camshaft included?
Yes, the camshaft, valves, and head bolts all come installed on the head.
Do I need anything else for a full head replacement job?
A head install kit for the gasket and related hardware, and a timing belt kit if you haven't already replaced it recently.
Does this fit the BEW engine?
No, this specific head is built for the ALH engine. AMC's BEW-engine cylinder head is a separate listing.
