Starting Build...
« on: June 07, 2010, 09:35:27 pm »
I figured i should introduce myself and say hi... I recently picked up a 92 Jetta TD Coupe with a blown HG and plan on doing the franken motor to it... I never saw the car run and took the sellers word on its recent running status before towing it home.  It cranked fine and had a brand new pump on it so i was sold.  Anyways, check out the pics and let me know what you think about the tops of the pistons.  Looks like some kissing went on a while back, think there still good?

I dont know that id be as concerned about the pistons as the bearings..

not sure which franken build youre referring to. coming of a hydra head mated to mech. block, and am looking forward to going back to mech lifters.
