Hi,
This weekend after some running I found an oil leak from the head gasket also find the head nuts way loose.
Ok following the instructions posted here I will replace the studs and nuts, the nuts I will use OEM VW Beetle head nuts this are steel made.
Examining what I found under the head I see that are to much piston deck, I didn't measure the compression ratio Yet. But o would like some advises about some ideas I had:
1) My engine is still at break in, I was thinking about change the stock metallic gasket for a thinner copper gasket to increase the CR a little.
2) I found a sharp corner around the place where the gasket seats I know it is no good cause may lead the engine to knocking and also disturb the flow in the combustion chamber, should i file this sharp corner a little?
Excuse me in case of error English is not my native language!
