pops 1 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 wossner are good as well Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Personally I'd go with Wossner as they're more "robust", shall we say, than the JEs I used.They're also a damn site easier and nicer to install as they don't have those god awful "Total Seal" rings that the JEs are supplied with.I've done 20,000 miles in my Wossner pistoned VRT over 18 months and it's been a very good engine. Uses no more oil than a standard VR6 does and is MUCH quieter on a cold morning than my old JE block. The wossners aren't so loose in the bores you see. Link to post Share on other sites
matty.vrt 120 Posted May 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 oirte think ill go for them then thanks for all your help do you recon i should re-bore first or not 2.9 105,000 on a auto box before i put it in my manual mk3 done 1000 since Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Personally I would over bore to 83mm and get the Wossners to suit :-) Link to post Share on other sites

pops 1 Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 could be valve stems Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 How many miles has yours done with the Wossners Pete? Mine's done over 20K and no smoke issues as yet mate.... Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Wouldnt have thought it was valve seals cus it happens everytime i put my foot down.... doing a compression test this weekend though. I've done less than 20k, about 13k before i went the ring last year...... so cant be any more than 17k realistically. Pete Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 That's a bummer mate. Is your crank case vent going to atmosphere or the engine?What oil are you using? Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 I use syntha silver, never used anything else. breather goes back into the engine.... will inspect to see if its throwing anything back in there... should know more at the weekend hough. will keep you updated!
