Default These cars have head gaskets??
I just assumed that Audi's percision was so exact when machining the heads that the use of head gaskets would be obsolete.

Looks like I gotta worry about a blown head gasket now. Great

Default not a problem...it's one of the reasons, for the under-bore from 2.8V6
give them more gasket area to seal up the heads and deck


I'm not worried about any mods, currently in the pipe blowning a head gasket

Yeah, it's only good to 60 feet. After that, it leaks like a sive.

Default Joking, right?
I'm not aware of any car that goes without a head gasket, except of course for the rotory engines that have no heads. But even those use gaskets to seal the rotor boxes.

Default Now you're joking.
Formula 1 motors don't have head gaskets.
