Hi Guys,
I recently had my cam girdle resealed to the cylinder head because of some oil seepage I had. I'm at 98K miles. While the Cam girdle was off, my mechanic pointed out some scoring I had on my camshafts/journals and we attempted to get a cylinder head replacement under a third party warranty I have. Long story short, I was denied the claim because of my mods.
I just wanted some opinions of the wear that is shown in the pictures. I know you can only tell so much from pictures, But has anyone else seen similar wear like this on their engine? At what mileage?
My mechanic had to have his cylinder head replaced on his MK7 Golf R beacuse his journals wore down to an oil cavity on the head and had oil coming into his plugs. He was only at 40K miles, drives the car very hard, and also had oil leaking where the girdle meets the head.
I have just never heard of this issue with these vehicles. I change my oil every 5K miles and get at LEAST 4 quarts of old oil out.
