[Vwdiesel] 11 mm Head Bolts

[B & R Decker]

Hi Rudy;
	There were a lot more diesel head gasket problems with the 1500cc
and early 1600 cc heads that used 11 mm bolts. My VW guru says he had better
luck with diesel head gaskets by using 11mm Rabbit Gas stretch bolts. Both
ARP and Raceware make 11 mm head studs that will go a long way towards
solving the problems.

Is there anything really bad about early 11mm head bolt engines that I
should know about before picking one up?  I don't have any experience with
them.  Thanks.
