Ok, This has got me thinking now that things for my A2 TDI swap have started coming together.Should I just get a "Good used" engine and drop it in or rebuild a core? The last engine I rebuilt myself without experienced help was a 2 cylinder Briggs and Stratton :-P.It would be easier and quicker to just drop in and go but, I'd hate to put in the engine only to have a problem 10K down the road. Roughly what does a 1Z / AHU DIY rebuild run? I'd give it a shot, I have a Bentley :wink:
so minus the bogus fee's how much did the rings actually cost you? over $200? didnt think they were that much...
Most of the 1Z's had 8mm valve stems. You could probably measure to be sure.
