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?

The one with the broken skirt probably has a crack that may not be seen till vibration and heat take their toll....
DO NOT USE IT I am speaking from experience. If that crack starts, it won't stop till you have a two piece cylinder. Not to mention the fact that if you take it out to a 96mm bore and use that cylinder that the hone will probably bust the cylinder when it hits the skirt anyway. Do the damn thing right. |
