I just thought of that and I did do it yesterday to get it back to Top Dead Centre so that means rods cant be bent, will still need to check it out though

i suppose it wont take long to take the sump off and check, should be ok as cant be hydrolocked if it's turning over :smiley:

Weekend job me thinks, got to change the water pump at same time so may just save some time and pull the lump out (for the 36th time) and do everything, if it is just the headgasket that has gone then il just need new stretch bolts and bits and pieces - wish me luck guys
Will always love my mk4 but she had to go...225 Quattro TT in its place....but its still black (she lives on in spirit!)
