Well the stock conrods are forged and the head gasket is already metal (see here http://www.mkiv.com/specifications/n...93/ncf037.jpg)


So at the sort of power levels you are quoting your money would really be wasted.

You'd be better off trying to investigate what went wrong last time as you don't want to spend all that money on an engine only for it to go bang once on the road due to poor tuning.
