The VR6 is a unique V6 in that it is a narrow angle engine. Most V6 engines are at least 60 degrees between the banks and sometime as much as 90 degrees (like a V8). In this VW engine, the banks are separated by only 15 degrees and are so close together that it has 1 cylinder head to cover both banks. Think about it; there isn't room between two banks so close together to have a traditional manifold...or anything else! Hope this helps :)

Personaly if and when I skim any heads.I always remove all the valves. Skim the head. Then give the port/valve mouths a 3 face cut and 3 face the valves and lap them in..

@Cojoness The compression ratio would increase maybe 1/10th of a point, if even that much.

I didn't know the Eurovan was 24v! epic!

[Cojoness]

i have a question , if you resurface it , does the compression ratio increase ?

@EdwardPack1988 Nah, valves look pretty typical.
