'92 TSI Complete Rebuild From Firewall Forward - Part 3Both pictures of the bearings look pretty good with minimal wear, however second picture looks like its shiny on the left and dull on the right. Maybe someone else was in there before you were.
Anyway thrust bearings like those will have an faint orange appearance when they begin to really wear out. - Mine had this when i pulled my motor at 145k and my last compression test did 120 across the board. Except for the bearings being worn i was thoroughly surprised with the condition of the internals for such a high mileage motor. G'luck man I'll be checking your new posts as they roll in. |

Out With the Old in With the NewReally, because the one we have redlines at the same place and the engine sounds pretty much identical to the turbo guage when it was redlined

'92 TSI Complete Rebuild From Firewall Forward - Part 1The exact same thing happened to me with a little more damage. I broke both compression rings on cylinder one resulting in 40psi reading vs 155psi in the other 3. No block damage luckily despite a spoonful of metal shavings. This makes me want to spend some more time while its out to be rebuilt.
