  • @drew10981
    @drew10981 3 года назад +1

    Watching you put all of this together brought back memories of when I did the chains, guides, & tensioners on a 12v 01.5 GTI VR6. My first time doing anything involved with the block, and holy crap was that a job and a half. Mostly solo. Obviously this is much different of an engine for many reasons, as is this job starkly different from mine, but seeing how it is you put all of this together made me think of all the little things that I could have done better. This is a great resource, especially as these cars are getting to the age now where a rebuild of the block would be a huge benefit to bring back another 15+ years of life. As I've said before, you're a huge asset to the VW community and we thank you for all that you do Charles.

    This is what I like, adding additional points of failure for no reason. A set of low compression pistons surely isn't as good of a solution for a boosted engine as 2 head gaskets. Well made, well designed pistons won't be weaker than stock.

    VR6 is my favorite engine in a VW ever, especially a Scirocco. The coolest VW to ever have graced the land.
    Regarding parts that may not have to be replaced, I have a terminal case of "While I'm in here" and it makes me wonder how much money I've spent over the years that may not have been necessary. The upshot is that I have never suffered a major breakdown.

    I love that you are using new hardware, I wish VW would make it easier to find all the new hardware you need for these things. I spent a good week tracking down all the stretch bolts I needed to replace my rear suspension bolts and such. I had to triple check so many different sites including several dealer part search sites.

      I totally agree. They do an awful job of it

    I had a matte candy purple valve cover on my old R32T.
    That head spacer is a thick boy! Before I built my block I ran one and it wasn't nearly that thick, like maybe a third the thickness.
