i wouldn't buy a s/h engine without costing in a rebuild. if you are gonna have the engine out you may as well tear it apart, check bore wear, piston, piston rings and crank condition, and replacing bearings doesn't cost much either and so forth. as its a G60 engine i'd use VAG parts only unless they are unavailable.

if you wanted to appear practical you should have gone for that g60 limited that was ebay the other day, 5 doors are practical, supercharged 16 valve and over 200bhp from the factory is even better!! :wink:

My wife recently asked if a phycologist could help with the Golf Gti brainwashing that effects me. :laugh:
