VW Polo head gasket

In message , Richard Swaby writes

The head bolts are usually torx headed. Make sure you have the correct bit and that you get any crud out of the bolt heads to ensure the best fit for the tool.

Many people recommend a smear of Hylomar on the front corner of the gasket at the cambelt end because they are prone to leaking oil from there.

Paul has said it all really, although the gasket I got was a modified one with a proper metal o-ring instead of the rubber one that perishes. This supplies the oil to the head, and as said is in the corner (cant remember which now) but is not very big.
