Oil-Starved L15BA teardown video!

[SDAlexander8]

Been watching this guy for awhile. Love watching his engine teardowns. He finally got his hands on a 1.5T. Looks like somebody forgot to put oil in it or somebody didn’t torque the drain bolt.

A must watch for sure. Hopefully he can get an L15B7 to compare it to sometime.

Any thoughts?

Interesting video. My only personal L15 teardown had a lot more carnage.

Is there any truth to this valve spring failure commonality he mentioned? I haven’t heard about any valve springs failing on these forums.

(x) Doubt for valve spring failure

I love his videos, weekend therapy for me. I was so happy to see the L15 make the channel.

Never heard of the valve spring issue before either.

A B7 teardown would be nice but virtually identical, unless he put the rods/pistons/intake cam side by side for comparison.

Not sure what mileage was on this unit but great to see that there was little to no carbon build up

Sick! That was a very clear tear down to the intake cam.
Thanks. Im trying to gather as much info for my intake cam swap.
