Specs:
1.8L (81mm bore, 86.4mm stroke)
AMB engine code
came out of a 2002 A4 Avant
125,000 miles
block & head with internals (original internals)
AMU valve cover included
valve cover gasket has ~5,000miles on it
Items missing:
OEM cams (intake & exhaust)
OEM cam variable valve tensioner (VVT)
AMB oil pan
AMB oil pump pick-up
all the externals including the oil filter flange
Why are they removed? I removed these items to install in my new engine.
Prior to disassembly compression tests were good. Leak-down tests were questionable.
Compression:
1 - 187psi
2 - 184psi
3 - 183psi
4 - 195psi
and then I did it again:
1 - 191psi
2 - 184psi
3 - 185psi
4 - 198psi
leakage test #1
cyl1 (fwd next to radiator) - >20% leakage past the rings
cyl2 - 25% leakage through both the rings and valves
cyl3 - <5% leakage
cyl4 (next to firewall) - <5% leakage
leakage test #2 (from a second, independent shop):
cyl1 (fwd next to radiator) - Leakage through the rings but most of the leakage is through the valves. Too high to get an accurate percentage.
cyl2 - 25% leakage through the rings
cyl3 - 3% leakage through the rings
cyl4 (next to firewall) - 5% leakage through the rings
As you can tell, the leak-down test results are questionable. Either way, a good head and block for a build...
Would prefer a local buyer so I don't have to crate this thing up and ship it. My asking price is $600. I also have a ton of other misc parts (accessories, oil filter housing, etc..) off an AMU block that might fit.
