Peace & greetings, I just picked up this used FI motor and the owner didn't seem to have much info to offer about it. he just said it ran fine except it "used" oil. When I asked if it leaked or burnt oil, he simply said "both, I think". Also by mishandling the motor, the fella had caused the pushrod tubes to get deformed, and therefore I have to remove the heads to straighten the tubes out. Question is; are there tell tale signs to look for that the valves need reworking? what should I look for visually or mechanically without knowing the compression or history of a motor? thanks hisham 70 sq ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
