Headgasket, Timing Chains & Clutch Replacement.
Car: 1993 Corrado VR6

This is a comprehensive list of just about everything you could/should replace. If you are looking to do only one step, I have separated each group into: clutch/timing chain, Headgasket and finally cooling system. Additional items, such as cleaners and tools, are not included.
I would not recommend doing this without the factory Bentley manual. As always, double check part numbers and prices with the vendor. I'm not liable for typos and/or omissions. Most of this info was gathered on July 11th 2002.
Contact me if you have additions, corrections or questions (please give me a reasonable amount of time to respond).

Be safe!
