ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    Head Swap Tips?

    hey guys, so yes i've been searching around. fairly new to the breakdown/teardown process and rebuild process. i've only swapped a few B's and helped tear apart a saab motor with my brother so bare with me...

    going with a rebuilt A6 head, this is my DD so nothing crazy over here. it comes in in about a week. any advice? i'll also be ordering a new honda water pump, timing belt, a head gasket, new head bolts, cam seal, and a couple other parts.

    i know to obviously cover the block so no dirt gets in, or use acetone to try and clean the top deck up but other tips and tricks would be helpful as i'm new to this especially getting the head gasket to seat right and stuff. i've got a haynes manual as well.

    tia

    life is good.

    Be sure to loosen and tighten the bolts in the correct order. Don't rush it.

      get the Fel-Pro Torque tables book from your local auto parts store AND a quality torque wrench. Try to keep everything spotlessly clean and follow the instructions to the letter and you should be ok to go.
