Message	I spent the last year learning how to pull and rebuild the engine on my TT (thanks to Grimm for the engine assembly article and much advice over the months). Initial problem was overheating. Fixed all the usual, then found the heads were warped. Had heads redone, bought "new" used turbos, new block, did all the other things that should be done with the engine out... put it all back together meticulously. Started right up. Passenger turbo smoking. Brand new lifters banging around. Promptly overheated. wtf. Can't count the number of hours I have into this project, so many... 200? This was do or die. Too many things have piled up around the house... Time to call in the pros. Or the fire trucks.
