ravinloonatic 0 Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 i have just spent today ripping apart my vr6 corrado. before i started the car had cooling problems and would get really hot at a standstill i thought it was the thermostat not opening but upon inspection of the head this is what i found,http://s1009.photobucket.com/albums/af212/ravinloonatic/?action=view¤t=headgasket3.jpghttp://s1009.photobucket.com/albums/af212/ravinloonatic/?action=view¤t=headgasket3.jpg#!oZZ3QQcurrentZZhttp%3A%2F%2Fs1009.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Faf212%2Fravinloonatic%2F%3Faction%3Dview%26current%3Dheadgasket4.jpg%26now to me (being a vw neebie) it looks like the holes either hav not been cut or are just too smallor are they meant to be like this.http://s1009.photobucket.com/albums/af212/ravinloonatic/?action=view¤t=headgasket3.jpg#!oZZ2QQcurrentZZhttp%3A%2F%2Fs1009.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Faf212%2Fravinloonatic%2F%3Faction%3Dview%26current%3Dheadgasket5.jpg%26i say this as the holes on the head and main block are a lot bigger than in the gasket so do i need to cut the new gasket to allow for more flow of fluids??? as the holes on there are only pin holeshttp://s1009.photobucket.com/albums/af212/ravinloonatic/?action=view¤t=headgasket3.jpg#!oZZ1QQcurrentZZhttp%3A%2F%2Fs1009.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Faf212%2Fravinloonatic%2F%3Faction%3Dview%26current%3Dheadgasket6.jpg%26any help would be much apprerciatedcheers Link to post Share on other sites
