MK3 Golf 16v piston height engine is not well

But if the bores are scored then forget and get a new engine.

Or bore it out

Then bolt a turbo on

Thank you for all the offers for parts and engines, I will remove the sump and pistons on Saturday and let you know what I find.

Hi All
Took the sump off today and removed pistons 1 and 4 big end shells good, number 3 top shell cracked bottom ok, but number 2 top shell paper thin and bottom shell cracked all crank diameters the same except 2 which is scored to be fair they are not that deep but the crank will need a regrind or replacing.
The Block is now out of the golf so tomorrow I will remove the crank and check to see what condition the crank cups and shells are in.
So far number 2 will need another rod, crank will need a regrind or replacing + new shells and rings.

How near to me are you?

Because I have a spare crank for you as well as good pistons and rods!
