Hoping that everyone was out wrenching on their VWs this weekend since the List was so slow... I finally did the head transplant on Sophy to get rid of the sinking #2 exhaust valve. I will have to post some pictures of the bad valve seat....really sunk in there. Glad I changed it when I did. The replacement went smoothly. I ended up shimming the 3/4 head to make the combustion chamber volumes and the compression ratio the same with the new 1/2 head that had a large combustion chamber. Maybe not the best solution since my squish heights are not equal left and right now, but it was the solution that I had readily available to me. I also replaced her main seal and clutch while I had the engine out. Nice to have a clutch that does not slip anymore. That was my VW weekend. What did everyone else do?
