Right, picking my newly rebored block up saturday and the rebuild will begin.
But somthing that has kinda slipped my mind, do we use the standard size headgasket or a custom made one (due to the larger bores)????
joel
standard one fits fine mate..
awsome cheers!!!! are the VW ones metal or that like fibrey stuff, cant remeber what its called off the top of my head.
The standard mk3 polo ones are one piece fibre board and will be fine to use. Some people use a multilayer metal one from a mk4 polo as its thought to be stronger under very high boost pressures but it is thinner and therefore raises your compression ratio. i would use a standard one..
