i bought a 97 mk8 long block this weekend, and stripped it down some tonight. my buddy gave me a good deal on it, and said #8 was low on compression. fine by me, i just want it for the block and the valve covers and etc to throw a forged goodies inside it.

i was pretty shocked to find this when i pulled the drivers side head off!

Just curious, how would that get all the way in there? (unless someone tossed it in the intake with all the goodies off it)

the motor sat for a while with no intake manifold on it, but it was definitely turned over with it in there. so i have no idea how long it was in there for.
