Jetta uses cylinder head from Lamborgini Gallardo

[JHZR2]

The question is why not?

Is it not because it is 5 vs 10 cyl? It reads like the bore and stroke is the same... is it different just because of cams and whatnot? If the fact is that the head is the same, then how much else can be different.

The plugs on a VR6 (that I have worked on)are kind of a pain but accessible between the intake runners. The 2-point-slow actually may be harder to do than the VR6 was.



And that would be the design aspect I wasnt aware of.
