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 |

I usually do not use head gaskets. I have the heads fly cut and also lap them to the cylinder. However on my last build, I had trouble lapping and as I looked closer, a rim around the combustion chamber on the head was butting against a rim around the cylinder wall. This would keep the cylinder from sealing tight with the head. In this case, a head gasket gave me the clearance I needed.
