I couldn't resist came across this on Facebook this morning, thought it was fitting so I ordered one LOL

Yeah you bet had to pinch myself LOL, in my backyard. You expect and see this in California not in Ottawa! His name is Issam Abed also his user name on Vortex his got some great threads in the G60 forum section worth the read!

Bought two brand new (0-Kms) AEB blocks (not the one in the photo LOL) with the crankshaft and intermittent shaft installed in them. One will be to rebuild the PG engine, stock rods and piston will fit in the AEB block, a AEG head gasket is required to fit the PG 8v head, a hole is drill thru the block at one of the thread bolt holes for the G60 oil return and were good to go. Edit: Oh and forgot a ABA oil filter stand off bracket. Second block is for a 20V. 1.8L G60 build. Also purchased a DRS oil pan for this build.

Picked up a G60 68mm Autotech pulley and a water pump pulley from a Vortex member in Ottawa (my backyard), well turn out I found G60 heaven. This guy is an engineer and a G60 enthusiast, has his own personal stash of G60 engines and parts tucked behind his automotive parts manufacturing warehouse. I know that there are better engine than the G60, but the uniqueness (which is the attraction for me, everyone else does the engine swap) of this setup is taking what works G60 (when properly maintained) and making it better with more flow through the engine (16 or 20 valve head). Tried to work out a deal on this 20V. G60 that he built for a customer and bought it back. But unfortunately it's not for sale was his first build for a customer and kind of sentimental about keeping it. He also has 4 brand new AEB blocked for a very reasonable price plus tons of other parts, he's also a Mahle piston distributor. One stop shop for G60 parts LOL!

Well the engine out and on the engine stand. Button up the loose ends tomorrow since my schedule at work got change and won't be coming back for two months.

Slowly started ordering replacement parts: New belt tensioner dampener, previous owner (below) solution to adding more tension: Replacing the plastic coolant flanges with casted aluminum ones: Replacing all of the motor mounts since looks like there the original mounts: Replacing the front one with a billet solid mount:

Thanks I'm in need of the lower front bumper grill and the boost pipe the one with the CO Pot.

Bit of progress today, got the car up on jacks, tagged the wiring, removed the front end. Rad support has a bit of rust but will clean up nicely.

Bought the car a few months ago for father/son project, car has a knock, body is pretty solid nothing rust thru. Looked into cylinders with borescope, found no marking on the piston, compression test 150 psi across all cylinders. Verified timing the camshaft sprocket was out by two teeth. Forgot to mention that oil idiot light comes on as well. No bottom end work was done. Which is why I've decided to pull the engine out and go through all of it. Not trusting any work that the PO did, reason the head was rebuilt is because someone told him that this would fix his misfiring issue, turn out to be distributor (no kiding Einstein). I'm suspecting rod bearing, I'll post some pictures when I've got it torn apart. One bonus item the PO gave me is the VW Factory Repair Manual :D

A newbie here to the Corrado world but not to VW scene. My wife vehicle 2014 Touareg Mine is a 2015 Passat My son 2010 Golf My daughter 2016 Jetta GLI And our new father/son project a 1991 Corrado G60 Pick up the car in Scarborough, 156000kms, far from being perfect but a solid car to work with, only one rust spot are on driver side rocker panel and rocker panel pushed in where his wife run over snow bank, was stored in PO driveway next to a huge pine tree. Lots of pine needles and sap, engine needs some TLC bad bearing in the bottom end plus all of the regular maintenance stuff, supercharger rebuild or upgrade to twin scroll, oil change, new battery, new ground wires, tranny flush, brake flush, rotors, pads, calipers etc..
