[Vwdiesel] head gasket

[David Cook]

It is not a bad idea to just go with the Corrado G60
rubber gasket setup.  It is completely reuseable and
to me more convenient than the cork gaskets.  I am
happy I made the switch.  It requires replacing the
current studs with different studs that allow the
molded washers in the rubber to fit.  I did it when I
replaced my headgasket a year and a half ago.
