whats the head gasket look like??

to do a head gasket on a KR engine you need:

 

1x haynes manual for a MKII Golf (covers the KR engine)

1x Head gasket set (preferably from VAG, but the GSF ones aren't bad)

10x head bolts

several plasters

1x exhaust to downpipe gasket

several more plasters

1x cambelt (you may as well change it while it's in bits!)

1x cambelt tensioner

Oil

G12+

 

You'll also need to take the head somewhere to get it checked for true-ness and to skim it if needed, else you'll just blow the new headgasket not long after you start the car up... :|

what is average cost of a garage to fit the head and time???

i had mine done in a day, depends on the garage on how much it would be?? im sure theres someone more local that can suggest a decent one?

I can do a head on a KR 16V in about 3 hours flat from start to running car... 8) That doesn't include the time it takes to get the head checked and skimmed if needed though... ;)
