I expected as much. That is the issue with zero clearance motors.

I am positive you will have some bent valves. A good shop can replace the valves and machine in new seals---Like sleeves on an aluminum block.

You may have to replace the pistons as those look deep, but someone with more experience should answer that....

Not sure how mechanically inclined you are....you could drop the oil pan, remove the pistons, hone the cylinders, and install new pistons and rings......

  - I've had my eye on those swaps. For now, I'm sticking with a 1.8T. I need the economy. - kwilson 2015-08-07 12:03:01 (309 views)
