Smart volks…

I finally got sick of bleeding “air” from the coolant system and suspected something was up…compression test looked great on 3, bad on one… took head off and lo and behold, yep I’ve got blown head gasket that allowed combustion gases into coolant…

So, I’ve looked at the outside of the cylinder sleeve and it looks corroded- but the actual head itself doesn’t…do I need to “re-sleeve” it?

In the least I think I need a new head? The “gasket rings” looked good…just discoloration around the outside on the head which showed where combustion gases were coming out...

I don’t know the right questions to ask here…anyone???
