[Vwdiesel] crank bolt

[mikitka]

I know you have to replace the head bolts. I forgot to post that part of the
question that was asked. I meant the crank bolt at least on my 91 doesn't
need to be replaced. Head bolts yes they do. Or you can go with a stud kit
from ARP or Raceware.

For $20.00 you can get new head bolts from the Parts Place.  They are  
the stretch bolts.  Torque to specs, then turn a 1/2 turn more.  I  
have had to replace more  that one head gasket because someone used  
the old bolts.
