[Vwdiesel] New Headgasket and Headbolt Issues

[Stephen Kraus]

Doesn't have the oil cooler yet. Wanted to get it running and clean before I
added the accessories

Also, I will check but there are no cracks (at least visible from the deck)
and the only damage that was done was threads stripping out. Also, since
they are the 11mm non-stretch bolts....I don't now, we shall see, I think
the headgasket may have just been weakened by the lack of one headbolt
(which I did not know about the cracked headbolt before I went to do the
final torque). Also: It wasn't leaking coolant into the oil UNTIL I tried to
re-torque the last bolt...so that points to weakness in the headgaset due to
bolt....I hope.
