Larry,
If your heads are only attached to the block by rubber gaskets, then I would
suggest you add the head bolts that most other WBX's are using. They seem to
offer a lot more protection in holding the head in place when you actually start
the engine up! They would probably also lessen the chance of a headgasket leak,
which is a problem on these engines. Not to mention providing a ground path for
current return to the battery. (I know it sometimes seems like the engineers
didn't have a clue, but they got almost everything right!)
Happy Friday,
Larry
