I haven't been able to take pictures yet, but everybody I've talked to said it sounds like a Head Gasket.
Is this painful $$$$ |

The tech bullitan does not say the heads have been redesigned. It says the following modifications have been to the remanufactured engines.
As for longer rods and cylinders, why? The bulitan clearly states use a larger aluminum shim on the block side to compensate for the removed gaskets. As for not lapping cylinders and all that expensive machine work, do you lap valves after all that expensive head work? Of course you do (or the head remanufacture did it for you). As for this being only for type II's the following is from the PET. 039 100 031 X SHORT ENGINEEXCHANGE74 KW, 100 DIN-PSWITHCYLINDER HEADOIL COOLERFLYWHEEL 1 039.GB |
