I am a newbie to the vw audi thing
i totaled my audi 400s quattro 2 days ago, I loved that car, ballsy as all
, and recently found a pair of Quantum syncros
One needs a head gasket
How long does this take to do, what am I getting myself into here
I build rockcrawler toytoa fj40s and can wrench good enough to get by
Does this require any special tools? How much does this cost? Is it worth it?
I would really appreiciate some advice with these

It's the Same engine and tranny as yer 4kq. Follow the same procedures in your 4kq Bentley manual.
Isn't that hard, you should be fine. Do Not buy yer parts for the QSW from Napa/Shucks/Checkers/Pepboys etc. Buy them from a reputable on-line German parts source like GPR Parts, Pottermans, etc.
QSWs are more expensive to maintain versus a 4kq, due to the fact less then 3700 were imported into the US from 1985-1988 model years, and in the last 8 years a lot of specific parts have been obsoleted.
If you do not have a Bentley, I have one for sale, IM me.
Hit up James Bell, http://forums.vwvortex.com/zer...44452 he's in yer state and has a wealth of info.
