1.6 NA from '84 Rabbit with TopLine head

Post by Bobt250 »

This engine was from my daily driver for 9 years. At about 200k miles I thought it would be a good idea to rebuilde her. I pulled the pistons, replaced the bearings and rings etc. I also installed a TopLine aftermarket head. The engine lasted until 260k when it started deteriorating quickly. It lost compression in at least one cylinder. It's nothing special but it has the TopLine head with 60k on it.
