Ok, since I have your attention, I have the head off the 90 Jetta I recently bought, and I can see why head gaskets could be an issue! not much room between holes. Since I have the head off, what do I do? Was planning to take it to a machine shop to be checked for warpage, and cracks, what else should be done while it is out?
TIA,
Norm
