--- Quote from: the bruce on July 29, 2012, 10:48:18 pm ---I just remember that the Twin has natrium filled outlet valves (which the 2.0 TFSI also has).
Natrium filling improves heat conduction. So the outlet valves run cooler.
VW saved the money for the 122 HP engine because it produces less heat (refer to SSP).
There's a second SSP432 related to the small 1.4 TSI by Audi.
By the way:
Interesting that the small 1.2 TSI are just 8 Valves. :chicken:

Thanks for the tip! I will investigate...
Now the cylinder heads are investigated because some cracks were found.... The cylinder head has to tested to see if there are any losses at 12 bar...
Yup, very interesting... I could have bet that it was also a 16 valve engine

Thank you! :notworthy:.
I am glad you liked the video!
It was very hard editing the videos (with my level of skill) but I hope to improve. The first video was more challenging. I guess you don't like the music and scenery on the first video :sad1:...

Sorry mate, I have no idea who makes it...
Thank you for your comment!

And here are some photos of the operation taking place...
The current state of the work:
The cylinder head and valves:
The upper part of the cylinder head:
And the "gigantic" turbo:
The car is still at the mechanic because, when examining the valves, some valve guides were damaged and needed to be replaced. But these small hollow cylinders who's only purpose is to guide the valves can only be ordered with the whole cylinder head. Not wanting to spend 1000 EURO on a new cylinder head I am now searching for other cylinder guides from other VW cars to see if they fit. So, fingers crossed, I hope to have the car running next week.
All the best!
