Re: Metal head gasket?

[Randy Martinez <howlinmonkey16v@yahoo.com>]

What A3 car would you recomend I get the metal head gasket from, or does
it not matter. The parts store near me has one in stock for a 95 GTI, will
it work? I need to make sure I got credited from the faulty one and then
get the new one in tomorrow morning. also,are there any modes I need to
make to the new headgasket to make it fit/work right?
   thanks,
     Randy
