I would say that’s the best possible solution to your problem. I had my timing chain explode on my vr6 a couple of years ago (bent every value on the head), and I was forced to picked a vr6 in better condition from the vw junk yard and rebuild it. I also picked up about $6000+ in engine parts (pretty much everything except the pistons) but I did get new rings too. I've added around 100hp my vr6, and once again I’ve falling back in love with her after she left me stranded a couple hundred miles from home.

Plus if I had the help of patrick and rob, I’m sure that 100hp would have been closer to 1000

I wish the three of you the best of luck, it would be really nice to have a nice photogallery posted documenting the previous damage and rebuild progress.
