VR6Pete 1,455 Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 the guy who built my mk2 has a garage in stoke mate, he's cheap, give him a call on 07957204365 say that VR6Pete sent you his way. he's done work on quite a few VR's on here and has a good reputation for getting the job done.first time my head gasket went on my old engine, it was skimmed, and it pinked after, whoever had done the skin took too much off and it never ran right after that until I got my new head so be carful Pete Link to post Share on other sites
