Update!
So ive got some good bits and pieces from our friendly neighborhood Notso Swift! can not thank him enough!
I present my new motor, good old adz block but can anyone confirm the head as a mk2 gti? Has a solid cam and 4 injector ports in the head.
The cam also has 1mm less lift than the one in my fn 1.6, not sure what the go is with that..

Bottom end seems in good nick, still has fresh hone marks and all, so it's looking promising

if anyone has a cam theyd like to sell, throw a comment or pm this way

Head was 40mm inlet and 33mm exhaust valves if that helps any one


What are you going to do about this other one MarcusAurelius? Because I will update the advert

post up the cylinder head part number mate, its cast in above #1 spark plug hole. Early head prob from EV engine code .

Remember you will need the longer timing belt, and front flange to water pump hose ( from 2. slow engine )

Are you going with injection or carb induction ?

Will do once im home.

It will be running a carb, not efi.
Any reason why id need a longer belt? I was led to believe that the 1.8 and 1.6 are the same dimentions

About the same as mine for sale, and not a road cam at all!

Head is from an early JH solid lifter code engine.

Definately fuel injected but not GTI specification . A lot of folks think because its running K jet its a GTI, this is not so. Other internal engine parameters come to play such as Cam spec, compression, Ignition timing etc...

What is the conrod centre to centre length ??

Mk1 cabby head? Hmm what else sets it aside from the gti head apart from cam? The rod length center-center is 144. Bottom end is in good nick. Even has fresh hone marks

From what I read on ETKA the cam is the only difference in the head assembly.

Rods are short block @ 144 mm c-c length, so you can use the std hose + timing belt.

If you are re-ringing the pistons run the hone through the bore to deglaze then wash extremely thoroughly to remove all abrasive. Leaving it as it is will increase the chances of ring seal failure at some point in the future. ( crankcase blow by etc)

Check dullness of the bores in this pic., that is fresh honing.

Definately planning on honing the bores and re ringing. Might as well be a thorough as possible. And definately planning on running an aggressive cam. Im also keen on maybe shaving the head a little more for a bit more compression but the idea of relying on my own calculations bothers me haha
