Guydo's 2004 vw cup mk2 Engine rebuilt by Hotgolf

Race rubber Dunlop direzzas good but maybe not as good as toyo's

 

So finaly something's happened
These arrived to go in the cupboard till I've used all my 256 discs up lol



And I've been to Niges realised he's only an hour up the road ,so I've swapped him a fifth gear for these

 

mike, is there a genuine ABF VW intake manifold somewhere in there? I have the SEAT...

 

Got loads of KR ones and I think I've got an ABF one but that's a seat one
Nige must have loads after the number of engines he bought last year
You after one ?

 

So I got three ABF Pistons off Nige and hopefully I can take them over to my engineering friend over the road tomorrow and see if he can take 2.25 mm off the top of the Pistons and redo the valve pockets then
1 pull finger out
2 take race engine out
3 strip hone
4 fit new rings
5 clean and rebuild engine
5a tidy engine bay while engine and box are out maybe spray white to show up any leaks early
6 sort fueling issues
7 cut up black mk2
8 move white mk2 to where black one is now
9 move RE2000 out of mates garage into container where white one is
10 put red 8valve pimp mobile in my mates garage
11 fit AFR guage I bought off Nige today
12 finish taking heater matrix out and put new blower in
13 run in engine
14 tidy things up inside car
15 tidy up outside of car
16 book a track day
Have I forgotten anything ?

 

Dancing girls.

No rebuild is complete without dancing girls.

And chocolate.

And maybe a parrot, but don't let it near the dancing girls.

 

I think tea is required at some point too

 

No.1 is the hardest lol lol

 

Hope your wife isn't reading this mike.... All that work to do.

When you planning to have it ready again?

 

I'm in the dog house again with Mrs as my brother told her about number six the red 8 v and she gave me a telling off saying I'm selfish not taking her feelings int account so I need to be very careful with my time and money

Hope to take piston over in a bit to get the engine rebuild moving the who knows just have to see how things go .
At least I'm doing a bit of something with it

 

At least we all have the same Mrs issues lol not just me

 

Piston dropped off at my toolmaker friends will sort no problem

Might be free but not much even if I do have to pay him

 

Look what I just picked up





Charged me 25 would only have cost me 50 for a set setting up takes the time but I'm well happy
I see an engine coming out soon

 

25 is reasonable, come on get on with it lol!
Think that list you have will get longer and longer lol

 

They look like twins

 

Of corse it will that's the only thing lists do in my experience get longer

But stuffs happening

 

Well you won't believe it but the sunshine has driven me out of my office and I've almost got the engine out
Only got the inner cvs to disconnect and lift it out :thumbup

While the engines out I'll put my quick rack in
Foil wrap the steering boot
Tidy wiring

Anything else I should do ?
I'll take a few pics of the bay when the engines out .

 

Polybush the subframe?

 

And put some Vibratec engine mounts in. Uprate the gear linkages too.

 

Both already done when I bought the car
I bought a full set of vibratechnics before I realised it was already done it's a full on race car not someone's track day conversion
