1.9 aaz help
« on: July 02, 2009, 08:34:36 pm »
hey guys, have a 94 1.9 aaz in my 88 jetta with the 1.6 garret turbo, i run about 23-24psi and have arp headstuds, 2.5" exhaust, timing is advanced a little, 1.6 boost pin

i just did a headgasket and my head was mangled, precups almost split in two and lots of cracks, some past valve seats

i used a rebuilt head and with some help i put it on with a new belt/tensioner and seals. when putting it back together, i didnt use the little heat sheilds that space up and narrow the hole for the injector.. by mistake of course, my first time doing this. at first it shook a bit, then it started to make a knock in higher rpm's, now it does it non stop.. put about 1000km's on it, til i put the spacers back in. ive tried a couple different sets of injectors, and put new lifters and a better looking 1.6 cam in it tonight and no change...

any ideas on what i might have done to my engine, and what to do next?
thanks
