    evenin jezz, yea mate i did it good n proper, didnt ask about bigger valves patrick wasnt there, plus with the amount i spent so far i didnt wanna have to take out a mortgage

    looks like cold weather heater pipe that normally runs to your airbox, though i jus noticed the airbox is on the other side, could be coolant pipe for lambda sensor

    yup took the head apart... not one valve survived have stripped em all out, guides are still ok no play or ovalling in any of them, taken it to the engine co. should be about £120 supply new valves skim and de-coke and theyre gonna replace the exhaust manifold studs, im gonna lap the valves in myself after ive ported n polished, mates got a nice tim styles head sittin on the bench i can copy :)

    Bit easier than mine, i didnt have half the height u got there, plus my brand spankin new wibble wobble bit didnt stay firm enough (wise choice of words ) to hold the socket upright so i had to get a mate to guide me onto the nuts from on top. my god sounds like somthing out of a bad porn novel

    pistons are comin to the top of the bore i shouldnt see any probs, i think the valves took all the impact, pistons look ok a bit of the carbon is scraped off where they touched but thats all

    Well hope u all like the pic, I'm just hoping the guides arn't knackered and that i may be able to use the head again ;) fat chance i rekon

    Anyone know a quick and easy method of getting the down pipe off a g60? i cant undo the inlet manifold bolts because they are rounded off and it looks near impossible to get to them from underneath, any ideas anyone?
  10. andrewdowd
    Well, got my bits today ran compressions and got a big fat 0 on all 4 cylinders. in the middle of pulling the head off now, (by the way does anyone have any tricks on how to get the down pipe off? inlet manifold bolts are rounded off so i gotta take it off in one go) checked the vales as i took of the rocker cover and at least 2 are jammed open, this ones gonna be fun by the looks of it, I sense a big head porting job coming up :D

  12. andrewdowd

  13. andrewdowd

    anyone from cornwall should get in touch with jez and simon at RK engineering in st agnes http://www.rk-engineering.co.uk 01872 553839 theyve been set up for about 2 months and have a vast knowledge of vw's esp g60's they also supply some pretty dope tuning equipment wacky cams and really good price silicone hoses plus they have a sun rolling road and Vagcom so they can sort ur motor out and get it running sweet!

    Ok not quite the cambelt it was the bottom pulley, the locating lug is still wedged in the crank salvagable by the looks of it, but i'll need a new bottom pulley, if anyone has a spare one let me know am worried however at the state of my valves n pistons im running a piper fast road cam so chances are its gonna need 8 new valves, a head job seems immenent :) Let me know your views n horror stories
  16. andrewdowd
    points taken, back to the red white M3's as in my original plans :)
  17. andrewdowd
    Subtle styling is the best i dont think RS4 bumpers and skirts give a totally modified look but at the same time add an awesome effecdt esp if the car is lowered on big wheels :)
  18. andrewdowd
    what does anyone think of these, my corrado is black but im still not sure if they'll look right
  19. andrewdowd
    Does anyone know where i can get a set of crystal clear front lights for my corrado? ive been searching everywhere and noone seems to make em, annoying as mine look a tad untidy in there
  20. andrewdowd
    I payed £700 for my 18" rims with tyres, speedos a tad out now 100 mph on the speedo feels more like warp factor 9 and the dont rub too much either. backs are spot on front touches on lock considering mines dropped 2" thats pretty good goin :D
  21. andrewdowd
    Ace thanks, now to buy me a decent strobe
  22. andrewdowd
    cool does anyone have correct procedure and settings on doing the timing? i'll buy a gun and do it myself, I dont trust any of the local garages enough to touch my motor :D
  23. andrewdowd
    Easy Choice then really, plus a Stage 2 upgrade, Chip, Pulley injectors Etc just need to raise the capital! anyone wanna buy a mazda turbo for a grand?
  24. andrewdowd
    sounds good so far, any answers from any jabbasport customers?
  25. andrewdowd
    Considering getting my charger Rebuilt but not sure where is best to send it, Jabbasport is £499 for a stage 4 conversion or G-werks at £370 for a standard rebuild. anyone else know what is best and from where? i'll be looking to fit a 68mm pulley and chip sometime after its rebuilt, already have a piper fast road cam in there so should pull nicely :)
