Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Vr6 cylinder head

    So I've taken the head off to replace the valve stem seals and one of the valves has quite a bit of play in it. I've looked into replacing valve guides but everyone says to take it to a machine shop. How much is something like this going to cost and can they mess it up if they aren't familiar with vr6 heads?

    Or does anyone have a reconditioned head for sale? Haha

    all my head work cost around $500-600
    That included checking, skimming, new exhaust guides, valves cut and sand blasted.
    I disassembled, reassembled, installed seals, cut and lapped valve seats which saved a fair few $$
