I've read where it's a good idea to remove the head gaskets and re-assemble without them. Something about, they crush and cause an issue. Is there anything else you need to do or change, in their place? Like a different head design?
Thanks |

OK, way more responses than I thought and way more opinions. I originally broke a valve spring and replaced all of them. I was advised to leave the head gaskets out and no other instructions beyond that. A local friend, that rebuilds 914's (has an award-winning car) also agreed, just leave them out. After putting all back together, car runs very rich. I'm hitting that age where I have trouble working on cars, so I took it to a VW expert, and he was questioning the head gasket removal. He found an air leak on the throttle body, but I wanted to ask about the head gasket.
I will pass on the voluminous information and go from there. I appreciate all the responses and info. Thank you and Happy Fathers day to those fathers. |
