Checked over head tonight and all seemed good





Will clean up nicely i reckon

Head gasket seem ok too





Put me head stands together and drop the head on







Need to decide on Large Port Head or porting the Small port?? Ideas anyone?

Removed the oil pump next





All good

Next dropped the rods and pistons out.











Next is to take the crank out and oil squirters out then strip down to just a bare block.

Not much happening at the mo, waiting on parts from powder coat and delivery of parts.

But after much chat in the mk3 section ive decided to re-vamp my suspension again

Going Wide-Track :) going to be using the wishbones from a mk3 golf.

Any way whilst quiet at work my wallet took a dent or 2 by ordering

Compbrake adjustable top mounts
Ball joint extenders
Powerflex black series bushes for the front wishbone and the 4 for the cross member subframe
New ball joints abs sensors wheel bearings and flanges and the golf wishbones.

Ive also had my hubs machined to flip the track rod ends and the bearings pressed out etc

Few pics













Progress is painfully slow atm but suspension revamp amd rejig of the intercooler pipe work should be able to sort a few more things then
