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 |

FAT Performance uses head gaskets. European Motorworks uses head gaskets. As it turns out, so do I. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Things like that .... |

An acronym is a word. Like radar. (RTV is not a word) A word that is made up of the initial letter, letters or major parts of a compound term. Scuba is a word. You're probably right though. WTF (not an acronym) do I know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) |
