True the photo looks off but they are exactly the same length.

I have been looking at one very similar,http://www.bar-tek-tuning.com/lshop%2Cshowdetail%2C17708%2Cen%2C1447964366-17708%2C1138132527.1138132739%2C21vr078%2C52%2CTshowrub--1138132527.1138132739%2C.htm So it's a a choice between this and stock.
-
Yeah I am very tempted to be honest once I come to putting one on I will decide then.
-
Head finally off to get soda blasted and skimmed and tested and crank getting soda blasted, checked and balanced.
-

I am just waiting to get my block back once I know that's all sorted it's a go ahead and I will definitely be telling the misses it was all a bargain in fact I sourced it all off the forum and it was £200 lol [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji106]

Is a misses optional [emoji24]
-
So what is your opinion on the standard crank running over 500bhp ?
-
Yeah apparently it's mixable so they say but they last owner decided he would put green in lol green car green coolant lol [emoji848]
-
Glad you posted that link guess these are a waste of money
-
Yeah I gathered he was the seller but I am very superstitious of buying parts from eBay, that is why I asked if anyone else has used them. I notice everyone replaces the OEM but I am building a car for track use and wondering about heat transfer so really my question is do they hold any amount of heat that would cause anything to be bothered about also do the seals last the same with the metal getting hotter ? I would buy one now if someone could provide me with a little info please [emoji106]

Changing a water pump is not hard it should only take a few hours I say hours because it's a perfect opportunity to do a coolent flush, and make sure you get a metal one I found this plastic peace of crap in my engine.
-
VW dont sell it anymore i went for some and thy only stock g13, the guy said its exactly the same ????
-
You know more than me I just was brainstorming and asked Vince and he said stick with the standard crank
-
I am just hoping I can have it ready before GTI fest!
-
Its not over till it's over lol
-
Thanks for that it's taptalk in a bad connection I think, ps I've not forgot to pop over I am just weighed under with work at the moment.Defo gonna need some shopping advice when I get the block back.
-
Your not wrong but they are the cheapest place to get reliable con rods,i have looked everywhere.
-
Yeah I was looking at one on SP's website I am gonna buy my con rods from them so I am gonna get a high flow pump while I order the rods [emoji106]
-
Starting to feel nervous [emoji16] hope the block has no cracks and also feel nervous leaving a brand new unwrapped set of wossner pistons [emoji30] they said 3 weeks for soda blast bored honed and decked. Please come back in good shape or i am stripping my other engine.
