I have rebuilt two VW engines (one 9A with unknown mileage, one PL with
140k) and reused the stock pistons with brand new rings, without any
problems. A ridge reamer was not necessary, at least in my cases.

If you are planning to reuse the pistons then you had better use a ridge
reamer or risk damaging the lands of the rings.
Look into renting the tools you need. Some FLAPS do this.

Subject: 1.8L JH 8V engine tear down.
Well I pulled my engine out of my car this weekend. I had freeze plug
let go while I was driving the car, and I over heated. I plan on seeing
how the eninge is and rebuilding it. Wondering where I should start? Do
you guys use a ridge reamer before removing the pistons? Also I was
looking a techtonics price list and need some of the tools for the
cylinder head there pretty expensive. Is there any where to get the
various tools cheaper? I also live in Canada.
Thanks again!!
Shawn Falzarano.
