well the rocco has had her last run this year with her 1.8 8v heart and is having her suspension raised in the morning to get her sitting comfortably on my driveway

had a good run to lincoln for a meet and it turned out well and she did good all the way besides a few clouds of smoke and a nasty smell coming and going so watch this space now for many updates with many pictures....

also a random picture i took in macdonalds carpark with martin ( I_AM_ME )

thaught its about time i did an update on this thread as a few things have happened and progress is being made...

to start with i'm out of road tax aswell as insurance now so i have plenty of time to do things that have been a long time coming. starting with the engine

to cut a long story short my engines coming out and another is going in but its no simple engine conversion from another car cuz lets face it that be too easy..

basically i'm building up a 2 litre 16v bike carb powered beastie and i have nearly everything i need now waiting for me just need to make an inlet manifold , finish cleaning up engine parts , jet my carbs and bolt it all together so here goes with some pictures...

to start with i'll be using a mk3 golf gti 8v engine block for the 2 litreness but no pic as it hasn't been delivered yet...

so that i get clearance for my many valves i've baught a set of second hand abf pistons from a mk3 valver


as you can see there caked up with crap so thaught best to clean em up and check everything fine so...


also noticed all oil holes in the oil scraper rings were blocked so came up with an idea that did the trick


and all cleaned up and back together..


then came the delivery of what i'm using to fuel the engine with. in the form of some yamaha R1 carburettor awsomeness!!!


and they'll be getting stripped down cleaned up and jetted accordingly

and a few days later came some more powerfull awsomeness being a mk2 gti 16v cylinder head 


and some pics with the carbs infront of it cuz i can really



and soon set to dis assembling the valver head to clean it up get it skimmed and re-seat all the valves .....

the head nerli stripped ...


3 out of 4 valves lapped and re-seated on cylinder 4


a before and sfter shot


and the bits i can do on the head are nerli done now then its getting sent off for a skim.

and today came a parcel    in the form of a 4 branch stainless steel exhaust manifold



and i then broke out the heat wrap and wrapped the manifold up nice before running out  :x



then after heat wrapping i realised it was a bad idea as the manifold will most probably need modifying as i've had to buy a mk2 golf 16v mani to fit the engine as they dont make them for the 16v scirocco as there so damn rare so the mani will prob need to be modified to fit with the 2 litre block being taller than my 1.8 aswell as havving an anti roll bar in the way or the zaust...

tahts about it for now really but i'm, sure they'le be more to come

Might be worth checking, but will a 1.8 16v head fit and work on 2.0 8v bottom end.

not if i used the 2.0 8v pistons as they woul the valves but thats why i baught the abf pistons from the mk3 16v so put the 16v pistons and rods in the 2.0 8v block then all will be fine

I just wondered if the block was all the same etc also will the 2.0 head gasket mate up all ok.
