sorry.... only can kinda read (guess) dutch, and can't type it... maybe it already mentioned
maybe someone could translate it if others can't read
sounds like stijn didn't have luck with his double gaskets
here, a popular thing to do is stack two metal headgaskets together (ABA/G60/ABF style), and then use some high performance head studs (
ARP most popular here)
from what I have heard, people have had better luck with using two metal VW head gaskets than by using a copper one since when using the copper gasket, you have to make rings around the cyl's so that it won't leak. The stock VW gaskets have the rings built in.
(dikke koperen koppakking ==>
dubbele stalen metal VW koppakkingen met ARP ==>
)
and if you have access to a a3 2.0 8v... you can build a nice 9:1 16v
maybe all this was already mentioned and I just didn't catch it
