[Vwdiesel] Fw: New Head Gasket

[Scott Kair]

    A forward from one of our listees who can't get resubscribed after
an addy change. I'm not sure how to advise him, so I'd ask for a group
consult.  He recently had his head gasket changed, hasn't yet done the
retightening, and has some concerns.  I've left his addy below for
off-list replies.
    Thanks,
    Scott Kair

120 mile trip mostly Hwy it seems to have less power and more black
smoke when at first it had no smoke at all. There also seems to be a
little bit of black hazy stuff on the top of the water in the overflow
tank. I need to retighten the head bolts. It also need's to have the
rear shocks replaced.
