one of the reasons i went with a rebuild, first head seal did'nt take and the second run things are running well. just got back from another 1000+ mile trip. I was pushing head wind taching 3 1/2 grand thinking hmm do i push past 55 or just keep chilling. VW's are a test of many things love it or leave it is a great point. some leave, some keep going on and on.. many head aches ;) but its better than a car payment

hang in. Joe
