Hey guys, so I've posted a couple times in the past about my wife's car (2009 VW Passat Komfort 2.0T). The engine blew a few weeks back and I've been trying to figure out my options.

So I think I'm going to go at it and rebuild it with a friend who has a little more experience than I. My question is what are some tips or pointers from anyone who has had to do swaps/rebuilds? What are some things that I may need or shouldn't leave out? I'm new to the VW world and I want to make sure I get it done right. Any and everything is helpful guys!

yeah man no love, I already got the head replaced, intake cam and journal had scarring and just went ahead and got a new head. $5280 in total costs. no one around my area except the dealer will even look at german cars. lucky me. but yeah its back in and im currently working on wiring and hoses now.
