[Vwdiesel] head gasket

[Sandy Cameron]

BWAHHHHH!!

Goldie's got a head gasket leak. No oil in coolant, but a wisp of exhaust
when the engine is running, and the buildup of gas boosts the coolant out
and it starts to overheat.

I'm going to try some creative venting and try to operate her at atmospheric
pressure for a while in the cold weather, but I guess its time to do
something serious, and it's a turbo so it's not quite as simple as an NA
(I've done 2 of those that have gone a long way since)

I just hope I can lift the head without having to remove the manifolds.,
that's how I did the NA's

She will get a 3 hole gasket in the operation. I don't mind the slightly
reduced cold starting efficiency as long as the gasket stays in, and the
marbles wont rattle quite as loud.
