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? |

FAT Performance uses head gaskets, so my engine has head gaskets. Still working great after about 15,000 miles. They have been building vw engines for over 30 years, so I leave those decisions to them.
Cheers, Elliot |
