Hi again that mostly involved a push rod motor i either didn't pay attention on the motor type but a compression test is a shire way to eliminate a bent valve issue On Apr 25, 2011 10:39 AM, "ralph meyermann" <ralphmeyermann@gmail.com> wrote: Hi i haven't really felt with many vw engines but have played with most domestic brands and when i came across that loosness befor it has been either of these three bad lifter,pushrod or a bent valve best to do a compression check on that cylinder to rule out a bad/bent valve then check pushrod roll on a table see if its bent/ broke and measure for proper length and then check lifter. there is another possibility a bad/flattend lobe on camshaft. Hope its just a valve adjustment issue
