i will make an effort to come and get the cambel cover off you, i just need all the mounting bushes and the like!!!!!
RWC next week, hopefully alot less stuff fails this time
Pretty sure I've got all the bushes and the wierd little 6mm bolt with the T head.
butttt after 4 blissful days of driving i blew up the engine. Dam. It was always a lemon of an engine however and an unknown quantity, no matter how much i'd tune it, it'd always ping, toward the end it was using oil and stinking pretty badly.
So i got stuck into it yesterday and ripped it apart ready for a new engine, this time a guarenteed 1.8 with 10:1, flat tops, and a GTI spec cam.
pics to come

Piston has obviously picked up or the crown has been burnt. IE its gotten bloody hot and/or lost some lubrication.
