6n2 GTI 1.6 16v Engine Rebuild - What parts are needed?
Posted: Thu Jan 08, 2015 8:03 pm
Hi all, I need some help!
I've got a 6n2 GTI that needs an top end rebuild as the engine was tapping. I thought it may be a sticky hydraulic tappet, so I shoved some engine flush through as a kill or cure solution.
Typically, as my luck would have it... I killed it!
The valve stem oil seals are shot and the tapping has stayed.
So I need to have a bit of a rebuild. The last engine that I rebuilt was an aircooled Beetle engine, so I need a bit of advice on what parts I should buy in readiness for the engine removal, strip down, rebuild and re-installation.
I'm thinking I need:
Valve stem oil seals x 16
Head gasket
Exhaust gasket
'Instant' gasket for rocker cover and sump
Cambelt kit... might as well while it's in bits!
I was hoping to find some miracle kit on GSF or similar like I used to buy for my aircooled engines, but it's not that simple!
Can I ask for your help to make sure I get all I need? Any suggestions welcome.
Cheers
Andy
