    Head gasket repalcement on an RR

    It looks the head gasket on my RR quattro will have to replaced. The mechanic I use is going to give it a complete check first but he is 99% sure its the gasket. If it is the head will be given a total check & inspection.

    If the head does have to come off, I might as well do some preventative maintenance at the same time, replace a few parts that are now easy(ier) to get to. What would you suggest I replace and what is needed for the gasket replacement?

    So far I have: -
    metal head gasket
    Head bolts
    Inlet manifold gasket
    Exhaust manifold gasket
    water manifold 'o' rings
    cam cover gasket
    possibly turbo gaskets
    cambelt
    Idler
    Waterpump
    thermostat
    valve stem seals
    crank breather pipe

    Anything missed off the list, even small stuff?

    Cheers,
    Kieran

    get the head reworked new guides as the exhaust guide are not the best common problem on audis of our type inlets show virtually no wear get a victor reinz head set as they are o.e equipment

    I can supply a rs2 head set for £155 including head bolts and postage i am sure the RR headset will be about the same
