Kempy 0 Posted June 17, 2009 Im swapping my possibly cracked 9a head for a skimmed kr head. Now I dont know alot about this, so Im pretty positive its do able but what should I use for a gasket and what set do i need? I been to a part place today and they could help.

zak 0 Posted July 4, 2009 use a 9a gasket and bolt set. Although the bolts are the same for the two engines Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted July 4, 2009 Use a genuine VAG 2L 16v gasket, the one for the 9A is the same now as the mk3 16v, a metal layered one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
