I've read where it's a good idea to remove the head gaskets and re-assemble without them. Something about, they crush and cause an issue. Is there anything else you need to do or change, in their place? Like a different head design?
Thanks |

I stayed up last night reading a bunch of articles about type 4 rebuilds by Jake Raby and FAT and KB pistons and Mark Stephens,Len Hoffemen in Dune Buggies and HOT VW and VW TRENDS . Everything I read does not use head gaskets in their rebuilds. All are very clear about a .040 clearance . I have built several 2056 with carbs and have not used head gaskets . I have a 2056 in my 912E and a 1911 in my 914 all at 9 to 1 CR and never had a problem in 15 years of use . We need Jake to comment on this subject.
