it would probably be faster and easier to drop the subframe and pull the head. Special tools -- you'll need the vw/audi head bolt tool -- basically a ribe type bit. It's available online and is not too expensive.

Did not look at the headbolts when playing with cams recently(heads were off the car).

remote location. You know....since I bought the nav+ and all.

I could get used to working on people's cars for mod-money. Heh.

That said, it would probably be faster and easier to drop the subframe and pull the head. Special tools -- you'll need the vw/audi head bolt tool -- basically a ribe type bit.
