Ohhhh yeah, I've seen it! Happened to me when I had my last engine
(1641cc). Except it was my #3 valve. It's call a burned valve. It
happened to me in Denver, Colorado, as I was making my way home to Oregon
from South Carolina. Made it home on three cylinders, though! She's a
total babe :)
As for reworking the old block I kinda recommend a 2.0L... ;)

About 4 months ago I dropped a rebuild into my III, and it's doing
great. 10 hours in a parking lot with 2 railroad ties, 2 come alongs, and
a skateboard paid off. In any case, I did it because of the absolute
frustration I was having with the other. I felt like I had lost 1 or two
cylinders. I had lost two come to find out. No. 4 and Number 2 (counter
opposed), the exhaust valves appeared as though someone had to take a
bite out of them. Anyone seen this? Have any idea why?
In anycase, I have a solid block, good pistons, etc., and I was
wondering what lind of ripper I should build with the old block. Anyone
have any suggestions? I am planning on replacing the trany anyway.
