A friend bought a 75 1.8L last summer and has been driving it daily since then. A month ago his motor developed a very loud knock. I said valve seat, but i was wrong. Here's what we found at teardown.

My wife had my "object in her cylinder" on Valentines Day.. but that's a different story...

Now back to your regulary scheduled program.





Sorry... couldn't resist.

prolly didnt do any damage, put er back together she'll be fine (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Just be carefull of hot spots (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) heard that can happen during prolonged use and lack of lube.

Back to chopstick guy. Glad to see that Opera guy changed his AVATAR from cam lobes to Chopsticks. Gets the heat off me.
