    Cam chain tensioner broke, need a new engine. Suggestions?

    2003 A4 Avant, 5 speed. AMB 150K. May not be worth the trouble, but if I can find something easy-ish to install it may make a good project next spring... I'll find other wheels in the meantime because winter is coming on fast and I don't have a garage.

    For what engine should I be scouring the junkyards?

    Just rebuild the head! Way easier and quicker than swapping the entire engine.

    +1, as tempting as an engine swap would have been when i was replacing my head, just a whole lot easier to rebuild/replace the head
