Nice illustrations. I read something interesting regarding 1.5 and 1.6 VW diesel heads in a catalog from Parts Place in Michigan. Instead of machining a warped diesel head they heat the head until it is in a "plastic" state. Once the head reaches the proper temperature they use a press to remove the warpage. This ensures that the centerline of the camshaft bore and head surface are parallel. I'm hoping for you that a new head gasket and more of your expert care will remedy the leakage. It's amazing how many write these engines off as junk when it's so important to have the right tools and help from this board.
