[Vwdiesel] Ring job done but no help

[Bart Wineland]

Well it is a new month and I know I was wearing my welcome thin last month. 
Really appreciate all the help.  I did get my car (89 Jetta with '86 
hydraulic 1.6 na) back on the road a couple days ago and even drove it to 
work today. I have it exactly back to where it was before I tore it apart 
for a ring job. It oil fogs really bad every time I back off the throttle 
and take off again, especially at traffic lights. I was sure as badly as 
the rings were worn I was onto something.  I have put a couple hundred 
miles on it and put it to it good hoping to get the rings seated but it 
actually seems to be getting worse.  Looking like I should have had the 
head gone through while it was off and I deserve some "I told you so's". 
The guy that "rebuilt" the engine 25k ago made a real fuss over how good 
the head was so I really hoped something he told me was right, so I took a 
chance.  I'm going to drive it some more the way it is and give it some 
more time and will have to shake out my options then.  Bon-Ami?  It is good 
that I don't have to do this for a living..
