[Vwdiesel] ALH head gasket & Gilis pump

[Travis Gottschalk]

Roger, you will have to let me know what you think of your Gilis pump. I would like to get one some time and brother is getting his done here right now and hopefully back soon for his 1.6 NA engine

I would put some ARP head studs in the ALH Dave and see if that would tighten things up. It has for others on tdiclub. You just take one bolt out and torque down all the way and repeat till all are replaced. Too bad they don't make the ARP studs for the BEW engine yet. 

For all of you out there Frank06 on tdiclub now has stage 2 cams for BEW engines (which also fit in to BRM engines. They are from Hilcrest cams down south somewhere. I guess Colt cams out of Canada is having a supplier issue for there Billet cams as they are too thin to have the stage 2 grind to them and the Hilcrest place says they are ground wrong anyways (a peeing contest I won't get into). I have looked at my cam and brothers and while there is "some" wear I we are going to play it by ear and inspect before each oil change as they aren't really wearing much if at all so far. I think we were just over worried. That will let some others test cams out as well that really need the  cams. 

As a side note I now live in Marshfield WI instead of Sheridan WY. I am working at a Land O Lakes Cheese plant instead of a coal mine now. So who ever is out this way-Hi. I don't have an address yet other then The Park Motel.
