Dropped the engine yesterday and starting to pull things apart - but having internet problems uploading pics.
Putting in AA's new Cylinder Heads & 96mm P's & C's. Can't wait. More pics when I can get uploading to work - downloading is fine.... GN (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/hosting.photobucket.com-21449-1659712197.1.JPG) |

3.2’s don’t use head gaskets and they seal fine. Even when you use a 96mm cylinder to bump it up to 3.4. Some later engines did, some didn’t. Not an issue if your machine shop does their job.

Lost me....."3.2"? "3.4"? This is 2.0.
Just found this by Jake Raby: "Jake Raby Nov 20 2014, 12:23 AM I haven't built a single engine with head gaskets since 1997. I've never had an engine come back to me with a head leak, either. The key to keeping the heads sealed off is controlling expansion, and the key to controlling expansion, is directly related to thermal control. To me, the part thats not there, can't fail... I'd pull them out even if I never saw the VW bulletin." Good 'nuf for me...... GN QUOTE(mepstein @ Mar 16 2023, 06:56 PM)  3.2’s don’t use head gaskets and they seal fine.
