Day 4 VR6 Engine Tear Down – Update on Engine

Have an update from the shop on the engine. …


The intermediate cam chain gear came loose and yep, you have bent valves, at least 4 visually. The timing chains were done recently; just somebody didn’t get a bolt tight.


The cam train all seems to be in good shape, no damage there. At this point I still have it in short block form in case you wanted to save some money, the cyl walls look great, and I pulled one rod cap and that bearing looked great.


The head is on its way to the machine shop, for further evaluation.
