I was thinking cam tensioner, but I can't remember if they even have a tensioner. Leave it to VW to design such a complex head in the early 90's. Speaking of which Trev I have two 16v parts heads in my garage - actually one may be just fine and need some inspection, as I bought it for the Passat before it blew chow. If you need anything you can't get from the Dub ranch let me know.
Yep, its the 9a 2.0. I guess I'll start with the lifters (and maybe a set of euro cams). It does however still run great. I might even say it sounds like a light knock/tap.
It's not how fast you go. It's how well you go fast.
i know how to fix that car- just come over and take a listen to my white gli 16v and it might just make yours sound a little quieter... how was the rest of the livingston trip today?
84 Rocco, 87 Jetta GL, 90 Jetta Coupe, 90 Jetta GLI, 86 Rocco SuperCamper, 85 VW CIS injected Yota 4x4... all either look good or run good, never at the same time...

Thanks, I might take you up on that offer

I went slow because the VR sucks the gas with oversized studded tires.

euro cams do it!
