The guy who replaced my HEs used the old gaskets. Now, one side, I can't remove the old gaskets and on the other, one bent and pulled a stud. I hate this Fing design and am about to just go back to 911s exclusively. A completly BS design!!!!!!!
Can I use the old gaskets w/o having a major leak? I am seriously pissed at this thing. Been working on theis for about 6 hours now. About as long as it takes to do a quick rebuild on a type 1. |

So on your 911, when you try to switch to stainless Heat Exchangers and pull a head stud, will you say F-it and go to 944s or 928s?
You can re-use the gaskets in the exhaust port. How did you bend/pull a stud trying to get a gasket out? |

Besides, there isn't a completely rediculous exhaust /head design like this one. The one I bent was a new one and it happened while I was attempting to install the HE. That was when I pulled the stud. And, So far I've spent an ungodly amount of time fixing things that should mot take remotely the amount of time they do. I guess I was expecting more VW thinking than this has had so far. |
