No compression guessed bent inlet / exhaust valves so just taken the head of and noticed the pistons have got small chips on them where the valves hit them Do you think pistons well need replacing???

welshpug 1,626 Posted November 12, 2006 give them a good scrubbing and file away any sharp edges, Ive put an engine back together that had much worse and it was fine (no bent vales either!! VW diesel pistons must be soft ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
