Title: Running in required?
Post by: EsSeX dAn on 20 May 2012, 19:51

hi all. ive recently done a partail recon job on the cylinder head on my mk4 tdi 110 non pd. it had a slight skim, re lapped/ground valves, new stem seals and 8 brand new hydraulic tappets. will this need any kind of running in atall? oh the headgasket and all seals etc have been changed too. im not entirely sure and i dont wanna blow it up as it took me 3 days to get it bk together!thanks.
