I am glad I am not the only person who destroyed the valve stem seals getting them off.

Good work Matt Thumbs up

Have you rebuilt an engine before? Your step by step approach has made it look quite logical, maybe i should give it a crack afterall Yes

New MLS Gasket:



Head is on Smile



All the brackets and sensors werer fitted to the block as well as parts of the wiring loom.
The thermostat housing, water and oil pipes were also refitted.
Found the oil level sensor had some frayed wiring, so repaired that while it was accessible

and dropped it back in.

Some new cooler NGKs ready to go into the head, cheap too Smile



Applying the SC kit

Sorting the inlet components:




Having test-fitted the Rotrex, Inlet adapter and Inlet Manifold, I used a bit of wire to

simulate the throttle cable routing. Given this, I marked up the inlet adapter and compressor

housing, ready to fit them together. A punch was used to help retain the inlet on the housing.

I then pressed them together.




You can imagine how fast the impellor spins when you see how far it movese in relation to a

small turn of the pulley. Cool




Next up was to fit the lower dipstick tube which I had been waiting on, and then the sump.



Had a hand from my assistant cleaning the sump...



The head was torqued up and was now ready to be timed up.



Fuel rail fitted - damn you Rich for anodizing it in gold Roll eyes Suppose it matches the

supercharger bracket now...





Grabbed a pulley from Rich and proceeded to time up the engine...



Engine timed up and Exhaust manifold fitted

Just goes to show what you can achieve when you have the space, tools, time, finances and know how.

Top work mate.

Will be keeping a close eye on this one!

Sorry about the fuel rail Matt Laugh

It's been zinc passivated, and is an ideal surface prep for painting, so you could always paint if it's really winding you up

Had a bit of a rocker cover dilemma and decided on polished covers for now:





Just the PAS assembly to finish...

I now set about putting the interior back into my other GTi-6 to use on the road during the engine swap.


Rich came up to sort my ECU out so I could run the car with the new engine fitted. Thanks to

his careful skills with a

Engine swap

Time to get on with it Devil

One long serving and capable 167bhp engine Smile



Out with the old engine and gearbox...



The "Scooby burger" Crazy





My Quaife ATB was fitted to the crown wheel with the help of Sean's compressor. Should help with traction through the bends.

Next up was removing the clutch and flywheel and the bolt Sean had kindly rounded off for me

Whistle Roll eyes



Some grinder and drill action later, flywheel was out and ready to be fitted to the new engine.

Love the burger!

Bet that stops hunger for a bit. Going well, engine seems a bit red.
