The banjo bolt issue only applies to a certain number of cars destined to Europe/Oceania.....read the banjo bolt service bulletin.

I believe it has nothing to do with where the car was destined to go, rather how the car will be driven once it arrives. Drivers in Europe sustain higher engine speeds than we as Americans, on average, do since they have the Autobahn and we have realatively low speed limits.

I was very happy to find out my car had them from the factory, if not, I was going to replace them.

Even with good compression test #'s, the bore and piston are still damaged.

Buy a 2.2 block and spin that sucker to 9k...get more power and costs less than a 2.0 block.

I had similar problem form a spark plug problem in cylinder 2.
Compression was good and equal in all 4 cylinders.
I could certainly replace the plugs and sell the car to a deaf person

Beside doing wild rebuild, another option is to bring your block to a local engine specialist to see if you can hone those marks. If they are not too deep you can do that with special tools according to the manual.

Good luck
