I am about to return from deployment, and am putting some of the money
I have earned towards refreshing my TDIs 1.9l engine, who at 264k
miles is starting to feel its age.

I am planning to replace a slightly warped connecting rod, replace all
connecting rod bearings, installing oversize piston rings (getting
excessive blowby with the new OEM rings I installed last rebuild) and
might reduce the headgasket size from 2 notch to one. Also new Bosch
glow plugs and a new timing belt.

Anything else I should cover?
