My 2.0L parts showed up today in the mail with some damage on them. I'm most concerned about the bottom of cyl #4 which has a chip missing from the bottom of the collar that slides into the case.
There are numerous cooling fins missing from cyl 3 and 4 but I'm not as concerned about those fins missing. But cyl 4 does have a significant number of them missing. Any thoughts?

I hate to be the barer of bad news, but 1 broken fin = need to be replaced according to the factory specs. Those cylinders are now useless. They look used, were they? I may have two used ones that I could give you in y shack, but I am not going into it untill Tues when the rain stops (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) I hope.
