I am currently rebuilding engine. In order not to tire everyone with a lot of newbie questions I have been searching the forum (thanks for the tip CapĀ“n).
There has been a lot of debate about using or not using head gaskets. Is this the VW tech bulletin which has been referred to in some of the post recommending not to use the head gaskets? VW Tech bulletin head gasket David |

The Porsche six cylinder engines aren't really comparable. First because they have individual heads, so get more uniform clamping, and they have aluminum cylinders between aluminum heads and case, all similar metals. The cast iron cylinders in the VW T4 motors are the real problem because they react differently in the heat expansion/contraction cycles than the aluminum heads and case.
