Same with Dave or Mark, over at Adirondack (http://www.germanautoparts.com). I usually get my parts in 1-2 days, and prices are quite decent, as well.. Ricky

Former parts manager for a big VW dealership here in the SoCal area and now does business on his own. I buy most of my replacement parts from him. He's very knowledgeable and has a couple of VW racecars including a 16V. I think he'd know what you needed and would likely have a source for them. He's sourced some pretty odd parts for my VWs over the years. (Even my Caddy) www.parts4vws.com Their prices are reasonable and competitive. -Les -----Original Message----- From: Adam Frank <[email protected]> Sent: Jul 12, 2005 5:28 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [a2-16v-list] Replacing gaskets/seals im going to be replacing the head gasket on my 2l 16v soon. Its had a slow leak for years and makes for a very dirty engine companrtment, seeing how dirt and grime like ot cling to engine oil. I lose about a quart every 1 1/2 weeks to the seepage. (you can definately see it on my driveway) Naturally, in pulling half the engine apart, im going to be replacing more than just the head gasket. Do any of you know some sites that sell higher quality seals and gaskets other than the standard cork gaskets? Also, im wanting/having to put in new injector o-rings. Are there any good dealers that you know of that sell Viton o-rings? Ive been told you can get them anywhere, but im finding this not to be the case as most NAPA's and Advanced Autoparts in my area dont carry and cant order them. Im just looking for a reliable site that sells high grade VW gaskets/seals.
