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 $$$$ |

I wonder if your head is torched in the spot where the ring failed. Had this happen to my 2.0 I ignored it for a while thinking it was an exhaust leak. I did the lap thing when I reassembled it after being advised by my friend who repairs VWs for a living.
In fact I just helped a friend out that had this exact thing happen to his 1.7 Head was torched and the cylinder was cracked. Replaced the head and cylinder, lapped both sides and all was good. We are cheap bastards and didn't want the machine shop invloved. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) |
