Hi,
I rebuilt my 1.6td idi engine about 70k miles ago, new pistons etc.
Car ran brilliantly, good power etc but always burned 1 litre oil per 1000 miles. I never worked it out.
Anyway, car is undergoing a restoration and I pulled the engine for an inspection.
I found the bores looking generally in really good condition apart from some scoring in cylinder 4. Two of which I can catch my nails on.
Does anyone have experience of this kind of cylinder damage? I have a spare block which i'm tempted to just get bored and use the O/S pistons from my current block, but i'm not sure if current block is actually ok.
I havent measured anything yet (i know this will be the crucial part), but cylinders seem to be in good shape with cross hatching still very evident.
