Thanks for the info mate, very useful.

Ah my fan is only single so probably came of the original 16v engine. Would explain why it doesn't fit very well.

 

Could a MOD move the thread please?

Dropped the Golf head off at the engineers this morning, gonna change the exhaust guides as well as the other bits.

Also finished getting the Rado's engine ready to remove the head. Un-bolted the down pipe and remove the manifolds.

Just leaves the timing chain, cams and head bolts but gonna wait till the new parts are here and the new head is ready to go on. Hopefully that'll be the weekend.

 

Parts that i'm planning on changing are:

Full head gaskets set

Head bolts

Thermostat and seal

Main water pump

Upper tensioner

 

Anything else I should consider?

Picked up my head last night, surface a bit pitted in places but nothing to worry about. Very light skim, new exhaust valve guides, cleaned and valves re-cut.

Pictures to follow.
