My 3dr black GTi
Ricky123:
Well got the head off today and this is what lurked inside...
It looks as though something has gone inside and got trapped as there's some light denting to the top of the piston and obviously the liner is nackered
Don't no what to do from here :confused:
Rebuild? Would involving boring out and larger Pistons
Try and get a new liner put in cylinder one?
Second hand engine?
doylebros:
I would go the second-hand route like you're looking into in the for sale section - taking into account the AXX heads seem to be requested after on both this site and eBay.
Ricky123:
I'd prefer to try and get a bottom end first but I think that's going to be easier said than done as I've only seen one for sale.
My head has just had a new chain kit too but I could swap it over if I get a complete engine. There's other bits on this motor id want to swap to another and it's had quite a few new parts.
Can't believe how much people want for engines!
Ricky123:
Quick update...
I've bought a bottom end. It's a 48k BWA lump, not saw it yet I've left a deposit on PayPal and going to collect it tomorrow from Sheffield. Hopeing it's fine when I get there.
Is there anything that people recommend to change while the engines stripped before I put it back in the car?
So far my list is:
Cambelt kit
Water pump
Head gasket kit
Head set
Probably thinking I should throw a clutch kit in while its apart
Don't need a cam follower, pcv or DV as they were new about 2 months ago. Also had new plugs at the same time.
doylebros:
Thermostat would be added to my list along with ultrasonic cleaning of the injectors.
