Originally posted by spions View PostEngine was standing one year outside so it can be valves.
If the valves are straight, you can have a shop replace the guides and seals and clean and lap in the valves to bring them back to 100%.
However, depending on what you know about the engine, there is *some* possibility that the cam timing belt was broken at some point. This would bend valves (typically intake valves), resulting in poor sealing (even if the engine had not been sitting outside for one year). This requires that these valves be replaced (and lap in the others).
Either way, unless the oil in the cylinder brings up the compression (from zero), you are looking at removing the head (again). Sorry.RS2'd 93 UrS4 5 spd sedan

Bent valves would make sense, as RS200 says it should be obvious if you remove the cams and leak test them.
Not sure where to buy the bits these days but i remember way back i bought Febi valve guides from vagparts as they were £1.70 each vs £14 each for Audi versions which is absolutely ludicrous money for a bit of brass.91CQ20v - Gone to a new home
