Very crucial info to 2.8 or 3.2 24v motors on how to do the head gasket as quick as possible. Sealant should go on the top and bottom of the head gasket for optimal timing cover sealing. Like to see a video on DIY rings and hone for 24v in future.

I have this same exact motor in a 03 jetta glx and I’m about to tear down the top end with the motor in the car still to assess my problem of low compression in one cylinder but I noticed you mentioned piston rings most like the cause. So if this were so could I access the piston rings from what you just showed or would I need to tear down further?

@thirdgeargrind8033 Жыл бұрын

You can refer to my 12v vr6 rebuild video a little where I explain doing piston rings as there's some very important information there, and use it collectively with this video to remove the cylinder head. The only extra there would be is removing the oil pan and oil pump, and then the rod caps. Prepare to replace the OEM rod bolts with ARP, and do new rod bearings as well. And make sure you have the required tools to replace the piston rings, as well as install them back into the block.

New rings do not help if the cylinder is oval. I have low compression on #5 in a Eurovan and had to get another block because it was out of round...

I'm looking at this now because my car is at the dealer and said the previous shop didn't put the head back together right (resurfaced head for head gasket replacement) which in turn caused my timing to be wonky. Off by a tooth after a few rotations. I'm really pissed and don't even have money for this replacement so, I gotta max out a card. Lame!

how much boost can a stock 24v vr6 3.2 handle with a stock oem headgasket?

@thirdgeargrind8033 Жыл бұрын

Depends on the powerband and tq output but approx 600 max with a quick spooling setup to be reliable. Any more and it's risky on the rods, and could fail a long while later by fatigue. If you ramp in the boost later in the rpm, never use launch control or antilag, there are some 12v VR6s at 8-900hp range stock bottom end.

Is the head resurfacing necessary if the motor was never overheated or broken, slapping a head spacer on

And can u post link for cylinder head dowels for 24v are they same on 3.2?

@thirdgeargrind8033 2 жыл бұрын

I would highly recommend it because if it's never been done before, there will always be some degree of warpage after the heat cycles it's been through. You can buy a straight edge and feeler gauges online to see for yourself. If it's less than 0.004" then you're good ok. That number or above, likely will leak.

The deck surface of the cylinder head warped, the head was resurfaced, block left untouched. New gasket, and no more coolant burning.

@thirdgeargrind8033 Жыл бұрын

Extremely similar. Differences being crank stroke, bore size, and cylinder head ports are larger. But for all intensive purposes the disassembly will be very similar aside from being plopped inside a longitudinal porsche SUV.

Could I convince you to teach me to replace the timing chain, tensioners, guides, and everything in-between on my 2004 GTI 2.8L 24v (BDF engine code)? I'll buy the parts, beer, pizza, and pay for your effort. Your work shop, tools, experience and mentorship would be greatly appreciated. Make a video of the job if you like. The car runs well. This would essentially be a refresh of many components under the hood as preventative maintenance to assure continued reliability. The car's maintenance schedule has been adhered to. Castrol 5W-40 has been used for the life of the car. I'm the original owner and only driver. The car has been driven in Europe, South Korea and California. The engine bay is clean. Car interior and exterior are clean. To be clear, I want to learn from you by working side by side and understanding the process. I have experience as a mechanic on jet engines, but the VR6 is a different story. The car has 157K miles. Let me know if you're interested. This effort could make a good video.
