My 85 Jetta TD needs a head gasket and studs, and I'd appreciate advice on
sourcing the parts.
I wish I had used Raceware or similar non-stretch studs the last time I
replaced this head gasket....maybe 10 years ago.
I'm getting oil in the coolant again. That is why I replaced the first head
gasket.
Researching the archives reveals Sandy, Gary and Nick talking about ARP
251-4701 head studs being as good as Raceware at a better price. But maybe
they were talking about studs for a TDI.
Google search shows this part number for a 4 cylinder Ford block.
All my search results for ARP show only the VW 1.8 engine.
I want to get the right studs, and would appreciate a part number (for my
85 Jetta TD) from someone who used the ARP's and who knows they worked.
Anybody used these studs on a 1985 1.6 TD?
