Since I have 60PSI on the #2 cyl I was thinking I would do a top end rebuild, considering I cannot afford to do an entire rebuild the right way (aka Jake (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) ) I am thinking "echocanyons" and myself can tackle it in my garage.
Question #1, Should I just send my heads to a VW shop to rebuild, or to Rimco? #2 Buy a 96mm P&C kit w/new rings or hone and re-ring the ones on the car? #3 Drive the car with low compression on the #2 till sept/oct and then hope I have the money for an entire rebuild? I know doing a top end rebuild could be a recipe for disaster on the bottom end and I know there is a chance I could be doing a full rebuild down the road when the bottom end finally lets go. But I can probably get away with speding about 1.5k right now. Who has some experience to offer regarding this topic. Luke Draper |
