also having less space for the piston to travel in after resurfacing raises the compression, more compression...more power

Stop, listen carefully and think before you type you'll learn a lot more. If you go back you will here him say that it needs machining because it is warped.Probably because some nutsac let it overheat.Regards

Yeah it makes sense And it seems like it would be really strong.. I just never seen one I assumed they were a regualr v6 with two heads and atleast a 60 degree I know the make power theres a couple of guys running them around me be easy to turbo since it shares one manifold Wonder if they got a stroker kist for them I might just get one since they are cool instead of a diesel

The VR6 is a unique V6 in that it is a narrow angle engine. Most V6 engines are at least 60 degrees between the banks and sometime as much as 90 degrees (like a V8). In this VW engine, the banks are separated by only 15 degrees and are so close together that it has 1 cylinder head to cover both banks. Think about it; there isn't room between two banks so close together to have a traditional manifold...or anything else! Hope this helps :)

i agree I thought the were just like a regular v6.

I don't understand why resurfacing, that would make the valves come out even more? sorry if my question doesn't make any since, but bare with me. Iam a newbie ;)

thats the weirdest configuration that ive seen for a 6 cylinder
