After putting rings and bearings in my Gti I ran for the first time at a sprint meeting. While the car went ok it was blowing smoke under acceleration down the main straight which I put down to an overfilled sump.
On return home checked compression cylinders 2,3 and 4 - 240 psi cylinder 1 - 80 psi
I am using a competitive .027” head gasket
I have since removed head couldn’t see any visible signs of damage on head gasket or head. Inverted head and poured petrol into combustion chamber of cylinder 1 the valves seemed to be seating properly as no petrol leaked out
What would be the liner protrusion expected with seal installed, I know it is normally measured with seal removed but I dot want to disturb liner if I don’t need to.
Where to from here is it possible to remove piston without taking engine out?
Any suggestions welcome
