[Vwdiesel] Was radiator fan, now head gaskets

[mark shepherd]

Wow that was a fast response 2 minutes!
 Let me try:
What's the difference between 1.5D gaskets and 1.6 Mechanical gaskets?  Not 
holes and notches, but interchangeability for use on a  1.6 mech... I've 
noticed some gaskets seem to have unneccessarily large oil supply holes; 
bigger than the hole in the head, and a possible weak spot!?
