    when you have an engine that it's best to change at 4k rpm its unlikely you will blow it up :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :p :p :p

    luke that was going threw my mind all the way up to curby the other day . but its the hastle of getting it all home / storing it . if i had the space i would of had it tbh .

    as for the time of year it don't really make much odds as its not a show car or anything and i have a engine ready to go in it . and yes combe is hurting that car somewhat lol . but the mk5 loves it round there !

    It gets confusing as Im doing a G60 turbo atm, I owned a modded 8v digi that I still talk about like I own it, Iv got another 8v in my cabrio that i got half way throu bike carbing and got bored, plus I started rebuilding a std 8v as I wanted some practice with engines. I talk about the valver the least so ill let you off.

    ****, thats bad luck mate. Keep your head up and get another lump back in there.

    If you need some one local to put the new engine for bodies together. Dan will. He built my VR lump www.turner-race-developments.co.uk

    bit of a update .

    did the cambelt on the 6a and fitted some kr cams . and got round to fitting it in the car today . only a few things left to do and should be driveable with a few hours work .

    still intend on building another 2l for my throttle bodies but been doing loads of house work so the car has been sat doing nothing for a few weeks . main thing is it will be running very soon .
