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) |

DO NOT use aftermarket studs unless you need to. Use the stock steel ones.
If you are using cast iron cylinders, the aftermarket, super expensive studs will net you NOTHING. And, since the studs will expand at a different rate then the cylinders, you may even develop leaks. If you use non-cast cylinders, that is the point where you need to start getting better head studs, and then you need to get the studs that are matched to the cylinders. Expect a mild heart attack when you see the cost of the studs, too. Its just not worth the money if you are staying with cast iron cylinders. Zach |
