Hi, I will be getting a 92 eco diesel with shreaded
timing belt, minor damage to head on this 1.6TD that
was very nicely rebuilt 30K ago.
Head Gasket that was put on at the time of re-build
was a 2 hole.  Autohaus AZ shows only a 3 hole.
Compression figures at the time of rebuild on this
motor were documented and pictured at 590psi, a bit
high.
The head was lapped by Boston Bob, maybe a 1000 of an
inch was removed.
So, after fixing the valve damage, I feel I should go
back to a 3 hole, to lower the compression a bit.

Anyone, no hurry, hope to get it fixed by August.

Anyone interested in my 90 Audi 200, need to sell
It's yours, make me an offer.

Thanks, Bryan in NJ
