I assumed the "company in Brazil" was/is EMPI. If so, their Brazilian-made
heads have been fine. I hope it's not them that's making cast crankshafts as
it will come back to bite them if they are. I would have thought cast cranks
(for any application) were firmly in the "doesn't work" box by now. BTW, Steve
Bennett told me the original VW cranks are forged and are fine crankshafts.

I just glanced at the Crankshaft specs. You DO NOT WANT a Cast Crankshaft.
Revmaster tried them, and required an AD to replace it with a forged steel
