When I was tearing the 2.0 down the other day, I noticed that the fit of the cylinders to the engine case was pretty sloppy, like 0,5mm maybe a little more. What's that supposed to be like? I can't imagine such a sloppy fit was intended, maybe I'm wrong.
Still waiting for the book........ things take a long time to come from the US and asking for a manual in english, for a german car in germany is well.... not good form. I can read write and speak German, but this is my free time we're talking about! (Sorry for the rant) just being impatient waiting for my book (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

Need more information. My assumption is that your heads have been removed. It not please give a more detailed description of your measurement.
There are shims that go between the cylinder and the case and they vary in thickness. They contribute to positioning the cylinder to the proper height to establish the deck height and head/piston clearance. That defines your compression ratio eventually when combined with your head volume and stroke etc.. What is the thickness of your shims because .25mm and .5mm are common. |
