[Vwdiesel] Head gasket thickness

[William J Toensing]

Haven't worked on my Dasher diesel for a while but I suspect the engine may have overheated & warped the head. If so, the head will have to be shaved, which VW recommends against. I know there are 3 head gasket thickness sizes as indicated by 1, 2, or 3 notches on the side of the gasket. I wonder if there are any thicker head gaskets or whether you can stack a couple of gaskets with out having them blow?
