I received a set of copper gaskets with my new AA P&C's and I assumed they go between the heads and cylinders (they fit perfectly inside the heads around the valves) but after I torque up the heads there looks like there is a space between the head and cylinder the same thickness as the copper washer - did I put those in the wrong place?
I watcehd Jake's video and he mentions nothing about a gasket here? |

cap'n say's YES to the gasket, Jake say's NO. Your choice, either will work. My last top end rebuild I used them and after6000 miles noticed that a couple had sucked in twards the center of the cyl. . The engine ran fine. My .02 |

My .02 vw also came out with a tsb bulletin saying no gaskets between heads/cylinders |
