Head Gasket and Timing Kit what and where to buy please?

[s2_wot]

I'm think I'll have to change the headgasket on my ABY..

Is the standard headgasket ok for pushing to near RS2 power levels or should I go for an ADU headgasket? Same question for the headbolts, I hear a lot of talk about ARP item, are they necessary.
In any case where is best place to purchase these.

Timing belt kit is it a stealer only item or what else is proven out there?

Some early cars had a paper gasket vs the metal gasket on later cars. Get the Reinz gasket kit as it will have the metal version, and it will be cheaper than Audi. Stock head bolts are fine but ARP's are reusable.

For timing belt jobs i always use Audi stuff. Belt, big nut, and the crank pulley should all be replaced. I would recommend changing the water pump and idler pulley while your in there. Replacing the thermostat and two coolant pipes on the block isnt a bad idea either.

gsf are the cheapest for reinz headsets that i know of,about £75 and bolts are about £30ish

Cheer Gents, that's the list of jobs I was thinking of to do. I hadn't picked up on the reusable part about the ARP ones. Standard will do me just fine.

I always use Quattro corner just so i have the correct parts before i start the job.

I'll give Pete a shout actually and see how he is on price, shipping is always a pain for me so I'll try GSF here too.
