Got the engine pulled apart last weekend. Injection pump has been sent to Giles in Canada for a rebuild. The turbo will be sent off soon as well. Awaiting word to see if the head and block and all have gotten to the machine shop yet and what the verdict is on it. We have a small crack inbetween a set of valves, but according to other VW diesel nuts, thats perfectly normal and fine to reuse. So we'll see.
