Im not sure how well known this cylinder head flattening process is. Parts Place cited the tendency of the four cylinder VW diesel heads to arch when overheated. The whole head then needs to be reheated and put in a press to rectify the warpage. If one had a warped and terminally cracked D24 head to practice this process on that could confirm if this is an option for the longer D24 head. Parts Place may be willing to share more information about the process.
