        Congratulations on that!

                  • so the top end is all done, still have to tidy up the bottom end...i want to give the block a clean and a paint as best i can...also considering getting a new water pump as it looks pretty well used?...

                    one of the threads in the gearbox holes is shot and the bolt doesn't bite so i will have to get it re-threaded...

                    • Nice engine

                      What adjustable timing gear you got there? Looks just like ours.

                        • looks good mate! keep it going.

                          is that one of the old school techtonics tuning adjustable cam gears?

                          how are you going to run the ignition advance?

                            Pages 28 and 29 of my wreck to race thread show how I made up a throttle cable which might be of assistance to you.

                            • bought new water pump today, thought it would be a simple swap...but the internal diameter of the original pulley wheel is much larger than the fitting on the new pump so the wheel/pully doesn't line up with the holes, nor do the bolts/washers...anybody got any ideas?

                              i will probably ring vw tomorrow and see if i get a later model one and see if it's any different....

                              • Sounds like you got a late model pump. I think (but you'll need to check) that a MK2 pulley might be what's required.
