[Vwdiesel] Valve Train Wreck

[Bryan Belman]

Chuck, I had a similar issue with my 1.6td when I got
it.  The valve stems on 4 valves were driven up into
the lifter cups, I had to weld rods to the top of the
lifters to get them out, they were stuck on the valve
stem.  7 bent valves.
big dent in #3 piston, but arm was not bent, so I got
new valves, lifters and cam, put her back together and
all seemed well.  I did NOT check the cam sprocket
drift key on this 92 eco diesel until months later as
the timing would keep moving around on me.  That was
toast, but minor welding repair to end of crank and
new crank sproket, all was OK.
