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

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
