help me reach 100! - update! GTI HEAD BOUGHT!

[Khare]

so what gasket do i need to buy? or do i decide after the head is skimmed?

[Khare]

Updated shopping list.
Hopefully now should all be correct.

I just need to double check how many/what water flanges ive chosen are the right ones. Any water flanges missing or are there too many on there?

skim dosen't effect gasket on this engine, there are no clearance issues and it not desile.   nor is compression an issue @ 9:1 a littel higher can only help

TC - Youre thinking of Diesel head gaskets. 1hole, 2 hole 3hole or notch.. Have a lot of dealing with them with people in work and ahve to ask the same questions.. Petrol Head gaskets are the same regardless

for cylinder head swap you need a head gasket set (this will come with all gaskets and seals needed for head including stem seals) as for which one i think you should get one for your model of car as you are not increasing bore size
and a set of head bolts
as for skimming i got mine done and pressure tested for £50

Cheers mate. Will take all into account. i got no special tools or anything, just basic stuff like pliers, hammers, screw drivers, spanners and a socket set. Nothing amazing.
How easy to do are stem seals?
