[Vwdiesel] Headbolt Washers

[peter blake]

Yes,
 The head is aluminum, the bolts are steel, aluminum is way softer
than steel, without the washers to spread the load u couldn't get
your torque values against the head. Go to the junkyard and get a
few washers,don't use something from the local hardware store.
