try not to use the A6 oem gaskets. In any of our a6/Y/Z motors that we do. we always use the Y/Z oem metal headgasket. the A6 gaskets are paper and hard to take off.

What he means is this. Over time, the composite head gaskets tend to fuse themselves to the block and the head, and they're a BITCH to get off. As for not taking the motor apart, what if you blow a headgasket?
