so i just bought a 94 tsi awd with a 6 bolt swap and it wasn't running and the timing was off by two teeth soi pulled the head off and all the vaves on the intake side are all bent, but the head was already replaed recently. i was told that the car was eating up timing belts and it might be the oil pump so they replaced the oil pump with a top line oil pump and rebuilt the engine and it still ate up the timing belt. should i go to the junkyard and find a new 6 bolt or attempt to fix this one, and fix the valves VTRides :: View topic - 6 bolt dsm rocker arm install help thanks
 
Id fix it and eliminate the balance shafts. The balance shaft bearings could be going bad which will cause it to eat timing belts. Also change the tensioner or drill the old tensioner out,tap it, and make it a manual tensioner,also change the idler pulleys.
