[Vwdiesel] headbolt goop

[Val Christian]

I'm doing a 2.5L gasser head right now.  My consultant on those engines
says he always uses pipe thread coumpound (yes the stuff with teflon that 
you use on black pipe with natural gas) when he assembles heads.  More 
uniform torque, and it helps handle water and other liquids and keeps the 
screw threads protected.

I will probably do the same, having a tube or two around.  

Anyone care to comment one way or another?

ps: this is relevant to vwdiesel, because I'll be doing a diesel head in a
week or so.
