Thanks Tim, okay that's interesting that these holes are actually for flow to go back down from the head. Either way I would pretty much believe anything you said about these engines given your experience so S 60r head gasket it is! Just need some time off work now to put the dam thing on... Bottom end is finally built at least, this project has dragged on much longer than I would like it to have! You guys on here and on T5d5 have been so kind and helpful helping me through my first big engine project, unfortunately I ask a lot of questions and at the moment and cant give much back I just want to make sure I get this project right first time and don't have to start taking it all apart again! I love the car and it would be a shame to end up having to scrap it due to stupid error. Once it's finally built I'll cobble together all the pictures I took and add it into a final thread and hopefully somebody somewhere will get something useful from it
Thanks again
