    Hey guys, Pulling the motor to change the drivers side head for a bent or stuck valve. Also doing k04's inlets and downpipes etc.

    Should I pull the passenger side head and change the gasket? It has 170,000km.

    Whenever motor is out and a similar questions arises the answer is yes.

    Did the belt break, why does one side have bent?

    edit: possible stuck

    Thanks for the reply, I'm not sure what happened. Just going to pull the motor in the next couple days. Timing belt is in tact. Cam to cam chain is tight on the head. It could be stuck. Previous owner said everything was working well. Then just all of a sudden a cyl dropped. Cyl closest to the firewall on the drivers side has about 30psi and it leaks out the intake port.
