Okay, so a few weeks behind schedule, I finally get around to
dismantling the extra 16v head I have.
Questions: Is the intake cam the one attached to the
sprocket?
If the valve heads look crusty, can they be reground? I'm leaning towards
getting new valves anyway,
but I'm curious about these. They are not pitted, so they're still
good.
Do I need a special VW tool to compress the valves so'z I can get the retaining
clips off or can I use any
ol' valve compressor tool?
Observation: The
intake ports are quite rough.
Lessons learned: Neosporin IS waterproof :)
Crying like a girl is acceptable when you slice your finger on the cam
chain
Despite
wanting to get dirty, it's always a good idea to wear plastic gloves
anyway
A hammer IS a good tool
Just when you're ready to give up, just stare at the culprit and an
idea WILL come to you :)
