    Hey fellas,

    Got the chain kit from GAP, just wanted to know if you need to replace gaskets at all?

    Cheers

    You should but the correct sealant from vw. $60 a tube, but it will never leak.

    You might as well get the gaskets from gap as well for piece of mind and torque the inlet and rocker up to specs.
