[Vwdiesel] Head gasket question

[dieseltdi at verizon.net]

Doesn't matter to me one way or the other.  I was just passing on the  
skuttle butt that there seems to be a quality problem with some of his  
parts.  No skin off my nose if they are Chinese or German.  But I have  
personally had really bad experiences with Chinese knockoff of tools  
and other items.  Just thought I would pass along the warning.  Hayden

" Those who are willing to sacrifice Liberty for Security, deserve  
neither Liberty nor Security."  Ben Franklin
"Dictatorships all have common factors:  a government controlled by  
one party, a leader who claims to have special powers outside the law  
to keep the country "safe", secret prisons where people are locked up  
without charges or trial and government opponents are branded as  
unpatriotic and charged with aiding the enemy."
