[Vwdiesel] Bart's blowby

[Bart Wineland]

Maybe.  Here is the deal on my head. It was supposed to have been all gone 
through from the guy I bought the engine from 25k miles ago. He said he had 
it checked at his machine shop and was supposed to be in very good 
condition. As Loren pointed out to me when I had it apart since the 
cylinders were shiny smooth and the rings were way worn already he 
obviously didn't do them right so it casts some doubt on the entire 
rebuild.  Problem was I asked around and it was $300 min. to go through the 
head if I wanted it done so I took a chance and put it back on. I know it 
wasn't the smartest thing and it might be coming back to bite me in the 
ass. When I bought the car 3 years ago I knew it needed engine work but I 
wanted a vw diesel bad. That engine turned out to be beyond repair. I found 
this "rebuilt" and paid for it and put it in. The oil pump went out on it 
last fall, then the rings, now I have been trying to fix it myself for 6 
weeks and my wife wants me to push it over a cliff. There are no cliffs 
anywhere around here so she doesn't get her way but I was reluctant to put 
that much more money in having the head gone through.  Nobody but me seems 
to think I could have broke some rings or bent valves when I spun my cam 
gear with the starter? I guess another compression test will tell and I 
hope I didn't trash it but, where is my oil pressure going?
