    only joking im hoping the re build goes smoother than taking bits out. lol but so im told the feeling that i will get,knowing i did it,is meant to be worth it,but at the mo im still stressing like mad any help with arp torque settings and pattern for head/main/rods would be very helpfull.

    thanks ben AGAIN, and for kind words,cut finger to bone doing it but it really has boosted my confidence with engine work.

    thanks mate, please enlighten me on the head gasket being the wrong one. i ordered a patent part as the vw one is paper flimsy,and this one was multi layered steel,and as i have just ordered 8.5-1 pistons i have been told to simply leave out the spacer and use just those two and the settings will stay 8.5-1, so i def need to get the head gasket right , thanks

    just ordered a new set of wossner forged turbo pistons. got a great deal,in essex too, got to wait 2 days to come from germany then collect from up the road, nice to have a local firm to use and speak to.

    you may have seen my thread asking for info,well here is how it went. many phone calls to patrick (sparks) and the original owner keiron, who without their help i would have never got this far thank you to both and pats friend mark too. the pics tell the story, check the heavy duty bracing that had to be used to get the crank shaft nut to break, well funny, two of us weighing 17.5 stone standing on the engine and brace and my 16 stone friend,veins popping,took an hour to hear the satisfying crack as it finally gave up its death grip . then when i changed the first set of rings it all loo

    i dont have a cheque book, can someone be kind enough to let me paypal them,and send one for me ??

    just taken my lump apart and the difference between arp and the standard ones is huge,they come out and go back as new. so worth the money. especially if going f/i , cos you WILL be using them more than once.
