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

Pretty sure gsf do, they definitely do the nuts...

you then can just use moley grip's to remove them

also if you got a little heat gun i would warm the head/the stud's a little first , makes them easier to remove

about the studs for the rocker cover if you do a search im sure rubjonny has posted something about fitting ones for a mk3 gti will enable you to use the rubber gasket instead of the cork one

And if they don't come out, you are left with a knackered stud that nothing will screw onto! Mole grips are a last resort for beasting things out with.

the head came with a rubber one when i bought it, so im sure it can be fitted using mk2 studs.

could it be off a mk3 GTi

no, im pretty sure its from a mk2 lol.

studs for a cork gasket have a shoulder on them, on a rubber gasket the metal ring is in the gasket not studs.

[danny_p]

it's a late mk2 head
