- VR6 Hard to Turn Over
  
  By Philly-R6 · Posted 12 hours ago
  
  Sounds like you are right about the rings. Last engine I rebuilt, the rings were too long once they were fitted to the piston and then compressed (to slide into the cylinder). We had to trim the rings down to the correct length to allow for the correct gap when placed inside the cylinder. That could be where all your resistance is coming from...

- **HELP** mk3 vr6 5 door body trims
  
  By Bhakervr6 · Posted Friday at 02:48 PM
  
  Hope someone can help me out with this TIA I have just had my Mk3 5 door VR6 resprayed and she could do with a new set of trims for the sills and doors however I'm not sure what part numbers I need to order or where to order from. so in short its the trim that goes from that starts from the front wing (small piece) front door rear door with vr6 emblem then the rear quarter (small piece). Then the sill strip and end caps as the original one had rust behind the plastic as I think there's a strip of metal behind the trim? Any help would be so helpful.

  By Turbo Tony · Posted Wednesday at 10:39 PM
  
  I checked the main crank bearings and the rod bearings they all check out fine and spin free. I am figuring that it has to be the rings. BUT could it be a bad (rough) hone job that the rings will seat into? Or rings that are putting to much pressure on the cylinder walls or ??????
