ATW head rebuild suggestions..
Im needing to rebuild my 00 A4 1.8tQM head.
Timing belt slipped and luckily only valves bent at lower part of the shaft. Pistons are ok, they will just need a little emry cloth to touch up a few spots.
Anywho, before I take it to the machineshop to get a good look over, Id like to hear from people who have done some head rebuilds or have heard good things/bad things about specific products.
Im going to rebuild to stock, and will probably keep it stock. I won't be doing any drag racing so I don't need to rev high or any crap like that.
Coming from the DSM world, I know you can spend as much money as you want on stuff, I have heard good things about OSVAT valves? Is there anything at a lower cost that doesn't sacrifice build quality?
Looking for input before I pull the trigger.

Get a full head job with a 3 angle cut and just replace everything. If your looking to just stay stock theres no real point in upgrading anything. Maybe do 1mm oversized valves if your feeling frisky. Head work is fun and if you have more supporting mods its nicer to have a higher revving car to make use of more power.
