Oh my word....
I cannot believe the prices..If you REALLY want to do this go tot he VW
dealer and see about a factory rebuilt engine. it's gunna be bucks but it's
"plug and play"
Unless the heads are totally eaten up by ingesting coolant, than they should
be re-usable..some pitting on the gasket surface is fine..use like "super"
grey silicone and it won't leak. it is possible that the first shop used a
"click type" torque wrench and didn't get the heads tight.. discuss this with
the your VW specialist and ask about him/her re-torquing them...it's a chance
that's worth taking IMHO
