Replacing head gasket - what mods should I do?
I bought this car with the head off, the timing belt wiped out, and every valve bent. If I want to have a little fun, thats not too expensive, what modifications should I consider whenputting this thing back together? Also, aftermarket valves are alot cheaper than Audi parts - why?

I think that you should have the head flowed and port and polish everything. That will make it live a little

more blunt. A low hp car (350bhp or less) will not see the same gains from a port&polish as a 400+ bhp car. You are going to spend to much money for a true port job w/ valve job for only a tiny gain on the low hp car and not very noticeable on a stock car.
I cant stress enough that not knowing what he has or plans you CAN NOT recommend work/parts.

The car is currently totally stock. My goal for the car is to do it safe, right, and if I can add a trick or two to make it a little more fun, then that would be very good. So, a little more fun than stock if there is a trick or two that I can do that wont cost too much...I know...whats too much..not real sure on that one.
