Haynes says 23 lb and give a tightening diagram.
That 23 lbs included the old head gaskets, which I am not using. Does the torque setting need to be tighter without head gaskets? If so, what? TIA |

It's my understanding that VW even changed their spec and removed the head gaskets from their rebuilds.
The cylinders were lapped into the heads. I've heard that Jake uses spray on copper gasket material in the combustion chamber. Supposedly, this creates a good seal for the cylinders to the heads and the excess just burns off. I haven't done that but now that I need to re-torque the heads I might. Any other hints or tips? |
