Look at what I found

[oldschooltsi]

I finally got some extra time to pull the head off of my tsi. This is what I found. It is on the exhaust side so I need to see now if it chipped any blades on my turbo.

OUCH!

Dont worry, you can rebuild it, we have the technology. it will run harder, lift faster......


By the way, what cylinder did it happen in.

 

[qtxdevilz]

consider yourself lucky...

 

[oldschooltsi]

yea my piston and cylinder wall were fine. The piece must have(hopefully) blew out the exhaust. I heard there is some new type of duct tape out. I may just use that.

I really hope that's a joke.


What the hell is that in the piston picture? Looks Like someone took all the metal shavings accumulated from porting something and dumped them into cylinder one.

Looks like a valve that gave up to me.

good ol' cylinder 1.. always the first one to go.

It looks to me like you ingested something, it bounced aroudn a while in the chamber, and broke the exhaust valve as it exited.

 

[oldschooltsi]

The duct tape was definitely a joke. I actually had to chop the picture so just to let every one know it is the #3 piston. I have already made arrangements to buy an another upgraded head with stronger springs and stainless steel valves. Oh yea it has a mild port also.

IT'S STILL GOOD!!!

haha OK seriously, oldschooltsi, it looks like you have a burnt valve. Luckily it usually doesn't send chunks of shrapnel through the turbo, (unlike the damage caused by a broken valve, valveseat, and pieces of combustion chamber.) If you're lucky, the missing pieces of your valve melted off and blew out the exhaust a little bit at a time.

Like pneumo said, that's a burnt valve.
Looks like you were about due for a valve job anyway.
Those valves look like they have sunk pretty far into the seats.

Or someone already did a valve job on it and didn't pay attention to what they where doing. Yeah that is one serious head in need of some work. Love the pics of the head that got all mushroomed from a broken valve. Looks like a ballping hammer beat the crap out of it.

that last picture looks almost identical to what happened with my old head......head of a valve broke clean off and put a HOLE in the piston after after playing ping pong with it of course..and that was a SS valve in a built head and a rodd piston...it also left some nice dents in the wall so that built block was gone....

get the guides replaced and some new seals...im sure you can get 1 valve but if you wanted, you could buy some good ss valves.

good luck
