Don't. Find a pro.


These heads are notorious for dropping the seats like this. Find a machine
shop that specializes in VW heads, and will offer a reasonable warrantee or
order rebuilt heads through Ron, Kyle, someone else trustworthy.


It completely sucks to have to shell out HUNDREDS MORE $$$ when you drop a
seat in 10k just cause you were a cheapskate today.
