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) |

Oh yes, the shims. I'm aware of those. I'm talking about the fit of the cylinders in to the case. Without the heads pistons or others. Seems that the OD of the cylinders is smaller than the ID of the case hole. I didn't expect an interference fit, but rather a snug one.
I think the shims will adjust the deck height, correct. Have no fear, I'm not going to put this engine together until I've measured everything, corrected or replaced what needs to be corrected after consulting the proper references and procedures. I'm an engineer, it's in my nature! ;-) |
