I currently have the bulk of my engine tin off and have ruined a few of the cheesehead screws. I am contemplating whether or not to simply buy some new cheeseheads from the local VW place and make sure to use anti-sieze on them, or should I replace the cheeseheads with another type of fastener altogether.
Any suggestions? BTDT? |

6mm x 1. VW went to Phillips head screws for the tin in 77 and up, a pretty satisfactory move. As others have said, there are several lengths to consider, but most of the screws are about 12mm long. The Cap'n |
