replace all vacuum lines while you're in there. You'll thank yourself later.

Snub mount is a good item to put in at the same time.

is that the same as a stub mount?http://www.mjmautohaus.com/catalog/p...oducts_id=1679

Definitely do the snub mount when you're in there with everything broken down and have some extra room.

rods and a headgasket set

damn good deal on the kit... Not bad at all.

[Sick_Boy]

yeah and it came with free shipping too

[Naudi_Mat]

That's a good price. It just sucks that it's only for the 01+ model A4's.

[Mike@PureMS]

Never heard it referred to as a sTub mount, but seems to be the same as a sNub mount.

Stern Snub Mount

Definitely grab a snub mount. Might as well change your plugs while you're at it too

The vacuum you can get from any local parts store. Don't buy that braided crap that VAG uses stock. The snub would be a good idea as mentioned. It can be done without taking everything apart, but its easier when its literally right there. I would also stock up on some stuff to clean up the engine when you have it apart. A clean motor is a happy motor.
