t  Dial gauge -VAS 6079-

   
Checking sequence
–  Secure dial gauge -VAS 6079- with measuring bridge -VW 382/7- and measuring plate -VW 385/17- to cylinder block as shown in the illustration.
–  Measure piston projection at two points marked with -arrows- for each piston.
  Note
If the measured values for piston projection are not the same for all pistons, use the highest value to determine the correct gasket size.
–  Depending on piston projection, install corresponding cylinder head gasket according to following table:
