I know to pull the cams down careful like Jimmy. Whether that's in line with an official VW procedure I don't know. I made extra sure this time, to pull them down square.
It does look like I caused the damage on the valve though.
The head is back together with a new valve in and I have it back on the block. New head gasket and bolts, cam belt on and cams timed up. I have wound it round half a dozen times, no freaky noises and the marks all line up again.
I'll get it running in the morning and have a mess about with the FT and the Chinese silicon TIPs I bought last week. To see if I can get a more suitable set up.
I also had a 3 inch MAF housing arrive today. The last piece in the tune puzzle!
I'll drop out the running in oil too and refill with some Penrite synthetic.
The engineering shop did the valve for free, so it cost me $100 for the tow and $70 for gasket and bolts. Not a massively expensive screw up in the grand scheme of things..........

I drove around the estate and no tow trucks seen.Did 2 km and only two warnings, petrol and water. The petrol is the same tank that was in when the chuffing belt went.
Rego needs renewing, so not venturing further for the time being.

Good on ya Gav. Just a thought, with RACQ you can join their breakdown service and get towed at the same time, yeah??
Keep us posted mate.
They have a fast-track membership where you basically pay an extra $60 or $100 from memory and it waves the 24 hour processing time.

Keep us posted mate.
I have joined RACQ on the spot and paid the extra though. You have to do the maths on the day.
