Long story short, the engine is out of the car. Loose head/cylinder studs are the suspected culprit. I'm planning on pulling the cylinders to lap them into the heads before I put it all back together. Will this necessitate re-ringing? The rings have about 8,000 miles on them.
Thanks for y'all's help! Konrad |

Ring it if they're worn out, and hone the cylinders if you ring it. DO NOT USE A BALL HONE!!! I suspect the rings will be fine at 8K miles, unless they got really hot. Have the heads surfaced if they're the least bit "iffy". Lapping them in is a joke, and lapping them without milling the surface is downright criminal. When you cut the heads, shim the cylinders to compensate for the cut. Loose head studs are rare on a T4 unless they've gotten REALLY hot, and even then it hardly ever happens.
