That guy with the goats
I suppose with the exception of my first TDI, a 2010 JSW, I've picked up my first mk5 (already own 4 ALHs and a CJAA). That said, before I pop off the valve cover - I understand that BRMs are well known for seizing. Is it because of worn cam lobes damaging the followers, or are there other culprits? I can move the camshaft with my sprocket buster maybe 1-2mm at best. I don't want to force it. There's no coolant, so I don't know if that leaked out or what happend, but I think the car had been sitting for a minute (the battery showed 2.9V on it!). I'm also told the starter is seized, but I haven't even tested that out yet, so who knows.
