If your staying na the big three for me is air filter, cams and exhaust, then just a remap to suit, that should keep you going for a while then if you dont mind no comfort then you can start stripping excess weight
-
Yeah i guess thats whats happened, they sit far too high and just dont look right. Where are you going for your skim then? I ran a straightedge down my head earlier and its flat as a pancake, apart from the ill sitting valves of course haha. Hmm iv never heard of skimming the cam cover before, interesting though, but a skim is only what a thousandth of an inch? Not sure if it would effect it that much, surely the gasket would take the extra bit? If that makes sense!

Id be up for a road trip, i sometimes going hiking in scotland, theres some pretty ace roads up there, be nice to go in something thats not a van haha
-
Havent checked it but the head wasnt warped when i took it in, did a decent job of it as well, il have a look later with a straight edge
-
Ok cheers mate, il have a bell with them, if your after having your head skimmed, specialist tooling services did mine for £20 or £30 iirc, and literally cant be more then half a mile from you! on doddington road where intel is?
-
well it wasnt actually a machine shop that put my guides in, it was my local garage that had a press. any ideas on who could do it for me?
-
Hi guys, Im currently rebuilding my head, just had new guides and seals pressed in, and now im going about lapping the new valves in. My question is, should the new valves sit this high up in the seats? or would it have to be regrinded? also, two valves in particular, an inlet and an exhaust, are really hard to push in, and need real force to pull out, any ideas on what i can do for this? Cheers guys
-
Yeah, i believe he did it to his as well? Otherwise it would be a very tight angle!
-
Well done matey, hope your happy with the job!
-
Yeah top bloke, hope i can have a bit better chat with him when he builds m engine. Just want to get this thing going now!
-
Thanks guys, this was my first time chatting with vince, and he certainly kjows his stuff! He sorted me out with what comp ratios to get e.t.c, but from the invoice he sent me i would hope so!
-
Well here it is! Cant wait to get started, taking the block to stealth when I get a chance, they can put the rings back in e.t.c. then hopefully should be a matter of bolting it back together with turbo and i can start pipework 3 litre Wossner low comp pistons with ARP bolts, and new valves, hopefully these ones wont bend like the last lot! I'll upload when I get some more news.....
-
Ah forgot about that! Well all will be revealed soon, when i can be bothered to upload the telling pic
-
Well its been i while i guess!! In all honestly I lost the love for a while, just couldn't be bothered to spend the money needed to finish it. But decided one day to do it, so here we are! Big fat parcel came today from stealth racing, can you guess what it is yet?
-
its only a little thing, but remember to shake their hand, it says a lot about you, and wait to be seated before doing so
-
Congrats on the interview mate, hope it all goes well. My 2 cents, be prepared, research about the company, their history and their goals. also what you will be doing in the job, roles e.t.c. know the job you will be doing intimately. but mainly just remember that they too are people, so RELAX! try to be yourself (But not too much ) Even if you already have given them your CV, take one anyway for you to refer to, and your relevant qualifications. try to always be polite, try no to ermm and ahh.. dont want to teach you to suck eggs but this is something im really bad at! other then that all

Have you remapped it to suit the cams? -
Mystery front suspension (?) noise
Daverse replied to michaelh's topic in Wheels, Brakes, Suspension and Steering
From inside the car? Strange.. dont want this to soubd silly vit is it coming out of the speakers? If your having grounding issues some stereos have been known to make random noises. -
might be coolant temperature sensor? Although im not sure if that wont turn up on diagnostics
-
TPS are owned by vw, its like their trade outlet, and they all have diferent rules. Theres one in lincoln, but they wont sell parts unless your a business. Newark will though, weird really

From reading that it begs the question what was holding your enginr in at all??
-
I thought as much it works most of the time on my computer, just my phone is a pain..
-
Definitely smoother, but im still having issues seeing pictures on both my S3 andbmy computer (both using google chrome) just shows in red text saying the url does not exist with the coding underneath in a rectangle. If i click on the picture however it comes up fine

Yeah this before, make your important things life the rock and the sand will fall around it. Plus beer P.s going on the theme of the title, maybe we could make this thread just for quotes / proverbs just for funsies??
