The rear looks good, the front is just too much golf like -

With the dizzy being on the passenger side of the engine the leads go in an anticlockwise direction, is that the way you've set it up? -

Can you see oil getting to the cams? I'd do an oil pressure test before you tear it down again -

Dox replied to Daveproyoyoyo's topic in Wanted
You need to use your existing rear carriers with MK4 rear calipers (MK4 carriers have the wrong offset) -

You cant really do any damage, boring and laborious done by hand but satisfying all the same

There's been a couple of regular track day lads on CGTi that have fitted chinese rods and suffered failures (a 1.8T and a home brew 16VT) where they never did with standard rods, the "ARP" marked rod bolts are failing they claim. I'm not saying these are the same items but buyer beware it seems. There are people here running standard rods with turbos using ARP rod bolts from reputable sources without problems. They do look nice though

I always put the wooden post in an electric drill on slow speed before finishing by hand. You can buy an oscillating valve lapper to do the job. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gunson-G4095-Eezilap-Valve-Lapper-/281125002833?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item41745b1e51

I think the hall sensor is inside the dizzy, I'm not 100% sure, my cars are coilpack, others will advise you better

The speed sensor is the crank sensor (not cam sensor) You will get a code for the crank sensor if if you do a scan and the engine's not running. If the engine runs its unlikely to be the crank sensor - a faulty crank sensor will give no spark or fuel injected. Crank sensors can give missfires when they start to break down.
