Been looking at the gaskets that came with the gasket kit I bought. The gaskets for the cyl. and heads total 7,, 3 alum. gaskets thin, 4 smaller but thicker alum. gaskets. Shouldn't the total for these gaskets be 8, I think I'm missing one of the thinner gaskets for the cylinders am I correct?

Yes, thin ones are for the cylinder to case seal and the thicker ones for the cylinder to head seal. You are short one.
For what it is worth, I did have a local Porsche mechanic tell me they use to run the VWs without head gaskets. He said they lapped the the cylinders to the heads for a good seal. Also yielded a slight bump in compression. |
