Are you just going to keep one on the engine stand at the ready from now on? I kinda remember you saying something about a problem with it a bit back, but there is too much going on most of the time to remember everything. Had to put on a new boot on the daughters passat after she went off roading a couple weeks back. I was checking it out again and noticed grease everywhere on that side. Neat little hole so once again I pulled the axle and fixed it up. Gave up buying brake cleaner in the cans. 5 gallons at a time is where it is at.
Head gasket leaking coolant again, still getting metal in the oil, still has a knock over 2k when cold. Been in that engine too many times to list and I can't afford to have the truck down more than a day or two so I decided to just build a new engine so I could swap it out in a long day. Gonna pull the other one apart and do a root cause analysis, fix what's wrong, and then put it on standby. Have too much money in the one I pulled out to just scrap it. Figured itay come in handy one day or maybe someone will want to buy it.
