Okay, so this will be my scratch area for an engine I got from the PNW with semi low miles. The head looks straight. The pistons look clean, I can see the cross hatches in the cylinder bores. It's a good low-mile TDI engine that wasn't abused.
The intended purpose of this engine is another mTDI build for the future Gold hightop van. This build will be similar to the UserWiki:Wpool Betsy Bertha build, but version 2.0.
This time I'm making changes, updates, etc from a 250k+ miles learned.

On Fence. I hear it's worth it more for higher RPM's where the abuse happens 5k+. Then again, I hear of other's blowing stock rods at power under 200HP. There's also the age (not so much with this engine) of older rods weakening over time I read. With how hard these engines are getting, it's almost like a proactive suggestion.
Modifications
Complete go over & Mild port of the cylinder head from Frank's TDI's.
