van cleef 0 Posted February 4, 2007 When i bought a 91 1.9 309 gti the lad i bought it from informed me that not to long ago the head went. Not knowing what he exactly did to the old head he said that a Skip Brown head came up for sale and used that as a replacement.The guy did say the head had a Skip Brown stamp somewhere on the head. Not being very mechanicly experienced but still learning how would you be able to tell where the stamp is located so i can contact one of their staff to find out exactly what has been modifyed. I have plans to buy a Fast road cam either Piper or catcam so i kinda want to know if their is alredy an uprated one in already so i don't end up wasting my own time. Any info gratefuly recieved.

mos 1 Posted February 4, 2007 mine has a code embossed in the back of the head it starts sbc followed by a series of about 5-6 numbers, the first two indicate the year they did the work. 89 obviously 1989 that sort of thing if you can find it, its near the cam pulley end of the head write it down and phone skip brown cars and they will after a little digging confirm its authentic and what the work done involved i.e did it have a cam or not.

Dazza 4 Posted February 4, 2007 Mos is on the money ,also remove the dizzy and look at the end of the cam (if it has the SBC cam fitted) you should see SBC RS 3 OR SBC RS 4 stamped into it . dazza. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
