if you have it cut out for 94s then just have who does your machine work put the bottom end together.shouldnt cost you that much more and that way if he has to replace anything inside or line bore then he can match the bearing and everything in house.if youve never built one its worth the extra bit of money to have it done right.jmo.chad :mrgreen:

kinda defeats the purpose of wanting to learn - so you can do it yourself

Did you take off the rocker covers to see if the problem is simple. Google HP books Get their rebuilding and hot rodding VW engine books. If you have access to dial indicator, micrometers and bore guages building an engine raher than assembling parts is only time consuming not hard.
Did you have an oil pressure oil temp and head temp guage to indicate a problem before it happens?
