just a rant so i've had this jetta forever, the last 2 years it was waiting to get painted, then the guy half assed it and i made him redo a bunch of stuff and it ended up just being more half assed and rushed, but i just had the ***s of it and finally took the car home, all that time it had been sitting with what i thought was a bad headgasket that simply caused some compression in the coolant, i had no idea it would end up sitting for 2 years like that, jumping forward to today, i pulled the head off and it was cracked and cylinder threes walls don't look so great, not awful but not good. so now i won't be able to drive this car very soon like i had hoped, since now i'm just going to have another engine built for it.
Well look at it this way, the end of one project or car is usualy the beginning of another and you will have lot's of spare parts, I'm tripping over engine blocks and transmissions now for this little Blue Rabbit
yeah thats true, franken motor is the next step, so it is nothing to be sad about except for the money i will spend. just a side note, make sure you use an egt gauge, or you will be making a similar post.
