[Vwdiesel] rubber 2.0L gasser valve cover gaskets works great!

[Chuck Carnohan]

Like Matthew notes~ You must either take out the original studs and
replace them with shoulderless studs or- and this is what I have done:
Use 10mm bolts instead of the studs. Be careful not to over-tighten as
always, steel to aluminum alloy will stip easily.

I was wondering if it is ok to use one of them. I have on my shelf one
from my daughters 2.0 Jetta and never used it. looked to be same with
the ends molded on as one piece.

Folks, just a random tidbit of info-
I just did a head job on a 82 diesel westy and used a rubber valve cover
gasket instead of the cork variety.
I needed to change out the head studs to remove the shoulder, but now am
using a re-usable valve cover gasket that doesn't leak like the cork
variety with the 2 aux. rubber pieces for around the cam ends.

It was from a 2.0L gasser ABA engine, but may come with others too. Cost
was $4, or about a buck more than the cork one.

just a FYI.

Cheers
