wow, just scrap it mate not worth the effort. I do however know of a lovely little G60 in need of some spares! :grin:

 

Nah mate, only joshin. It looks like this was a well timed occurrence. Do you know if they're going to steam clean the block and engine bay for you? Would be worth doing while it's all in pieces

Yey! update time!

 

Hi Kris,

sorry for the lack of updates, not much been going on but waiting for parts.

 

Thermostat housings are on back order with VW..... think we've cleaned them out!

 

Head is now stripped down, top pad cracked, top chain tensioner is right on the rivets, bores look good, compression issue looks like it is the exhaust valve seat, clutch has been wearing the g-box casing, head gasket looks like lack of G 12........

 

More tomorrow :)

 

Regards

Had a quick work with crazydave...

 

VW can't specify when the stat housing will arrive... :scratch: i hate dealers!

and apparantly they don't do the rear top mounts anymore! sigh... thats a pain... Dave's gonna check the state of the original top mounts to see how they are... if they need replacing, gonna have to source alternate parts...

 

I'm also told that the bores are very good for the age of the car and that it'll run sweet when the engine work is done! :)
