Alright, here's the long story short:  I have two JH 1.8's, one has bad rings yet perfectly adjusted valves, and the other has GREAT compression but all the exhaust valves are out of adjustment.  Already tried shim swapping, can't get it right still. So can I take the cam and all the shims out of the motor with the bad rings yet perfect valve adjustment, and put them into the engine with good compression in the exact same order?  The head's are SLIGHTLY different, one is an '83 and one an '84, the part numbers are the same except for the letter at the end:  026 103 373F and the '83 is 026 103 373H.  Is that a problem?Head swapping is NOT an option due to the fact that I don't want to have to port and polish again-  please help, on Friday I have to have my Scirocco out of the garage to get to a family reunion.  

thanks so much to any who may reply,

Rob
