[Vwdiesel] TDI head question

[LBaird119 at aol.com]

  The only thing I'd be concerned about is if the scoring is where it'll 
allow 
oil to bleed off through it.  If it clears oil passages then I wouldn't be 
too 
concerned, it'll just provide more drainback oil to lube the lifter.  If it 
gets 
into pressurized oil feeding the lifter, then you could smooth out the 
gouges with JB Weld.  Simpler and cheaper than a sleeve and should 
hold.  If it's just for the bore itself then all the scoring will do is 
provide 
better lubrication to the lifter, so to speak.
