Questions about reinstalling head

[Tony Hoffman]

I never use an additional sealants on heads. The torque pattern is in
the bentley. I have reused head bolts on probably thirty or more VAG
products, but technically they are stretch bolts, which are designed
to be a one-time use thing. On newer cars, or one that you are running
higher boost, I'd definately replace, however.
