The only advise that I can give you from where I sit here in my home office, even though I have had 3 VW engines, is, have a very good VW mechanic go through the entire engine, paying particular attention to the heads. The rings could be rusted and the cylinders pitted, who knows. The valve springs should be replaced after having been in the same compression for all these years.
