This is an extreme closup of a rod bearing on a 2.0 I tore down. There is a small crater in the bearing. It is at least a few thousands deep and definitely catches a nail. The scratches through it are from me scraping at it with my nail to see if more would flake off.
Anyone seen this before? I have a cam bearing that is much worse but no pics yet. Attached image(s) |

Jake, you are right, these are OEM bearings with VW part #s on the back. I don't think this motor has ever been opened up before. Good to know guys... Thanks for the info. At first I thought maybe I had done the damage during the disassembly process but once I saw the rod bearing I knew for sure it was not something I could have done.
