    How to identify thickness of head gasket?

    How do you tell what thickness head gasket you have? I have heard there are a number of holes to identify them. If so where are the holes located on the gasket?
    Cheers

    for the TDI its on the side on an elongated tab.

    3 holes is the thickest.

    From memory its the same game for the TD5.

    thanks for that. Also when watching 4x4 action dvd they sprayed somthing on the gasket they where putting in milo. Was this some kind of cleaning solvent or a sealing compound of some sort? are you ment to be useng a sealant on the head gasket?

    yes they did, because they are lazy.

    its a bonding agent which means they didnt pay to get the faces surface finish restored.

    you dont need to with a landy head.
