    Not sure what was going on yesterday as I replied twice to this... guess the server was having issues. My car will be on show! Its "on show" on my Mothers driveway with no front end in it! - everyone is more than welcome to come and view it, kettle is always on, if you bring overalls I'll throw in a bacon sarnie! ;) Hopefully getting the block and cylinder-head back tomorrow, got the paint and compressor to do the engine bay.. maybe this weekend.

  6. Geeba

    VR6 Timing Chain

    Geeba replied to Jim Bowen's topic in Engine Bay

    Morning Dox, yeah I did wonder that... I really wanted the revised non-rivited parts... problem is the first thing they ask for is a Reg or chassis number.

    Am I right in thinking that the Schrick 268 cams are matched to go with the Schrich VGI manifold? I'm sort of leaning towards Shimmel 263's

    VR6 Timing Chain

    Geeba replied to Jim Bowen's topic in Engine Bay

    Just about to look at getting my block back from the engine builders so need to look at chains.... Since the parts are obsolete from the main Stealers... and I flatly refuse to give VW Teeside http://vwgolfr32.co.uk/shop/VR6-Timing.htm - £377 for a kit that was £150.. can anyone recommend or advise which parts they have used? I can only find the Fibi Bilstein kits which don't have the revised non-rivited parts.

    what 4 - pots are they GF?
  16. Geeba
    Ahh ok no worries... any chance you could list the fan specs? Anyone remember who made the brackets?
  17. Geeba
    AHA! this is what I was looking for! I was just searching this on google! where did you get the kit Jim?
  18. Geeba
    I've done an 8v GTI before... really easy.. undo the sump bolts, juggle sump out of the way, pump has 2 or 3 bolts holding it in place, swap it over and reassemble with a new gasket. I even did big end bearings with the off. ;)
  19. Geeba
    Hmmmmm that does sound like a lazy pump.... or maybe a dodgy sender? Definitely get it checked out thou before going to far... low oil pressure will wipe an engine out.

    Hi Kip, Cheers for the link, out of interest do you remember how many cans it took? I'm about to get my front panel shot blasted so need to get something on it as soon as I can.

    MK4/Polo Shifter

    Geeba replied to Wompa's topic in Drivetrain

    Just another quick question... can you use the MK4 tower with the standard shifter setup?

    MK4/Polo Shifter

    Geeba replied to Wompa's topic in Drivetrain

    Or does anyone have a picture of the finished conversion inside the car? Does it look the same? Just bought one of Daves shifters.... and my car is is a gazzillion bits at the moment...
  23. Geeba
    LOL! Ahhh you're right! :D my dyslexia kicking in again.. read it as a 57k motor which I assumed was a brand new one and the ancillaries were 6k lol
  24. Geeba
    would be nice to have 57K to throw at an engine... You could probably have a crate motor imported from the Sates for a lot less with more power... ** LS3 $6k https://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/nal-19301326/overview/
