[Vwdiesel] RE: [Audi-VW-Diesels] Head Gasket options?

[Maynard Southard]

Thanks to Don, Gary, Adrian, Loren, Sandy & Karl for their suggestions
regarding the head gasket replacement on my '86 Diesel Double Cab.  I opted to
replace the 2 notch gasket with a 3 notch gasket, mainly because I had one
handy and no one came out and said "don't do it!.  Job complete and engine
seems to run fine.  I guess I'll have to wait for this winter in New England to
see if the .5 drop in compression ratio creates any starting problems.  Thanks
again.
