wonder if GLS will spit their dummies out the pram with PPP like they did with philj when he reproduced them to sell on

Hard cheese- that's what comes for trying to sell us damaged vernier pullies!

New supplier, same price, quicker delivery time, and it's virgin grade nylon, everyone loves a good virgin...

63 pages of nonsense chat, and you've still not finished it toby? You great big oaf.

Pull your finger out and get it done.

I even lowered my TT for you!

Well, i ordered the new bits from VW, so my tensioners are now on ;)

But because they didnt arrive yesterday i now have no help to get the head on. So whenever me n Brett are next off at the same time, the engine should be built and ready.

Prepping the camcover for paint atm :)

Wish i had an engine stand, could just get on with shit on my own then :(

Why do you need two people to fit a head? I know you only have scrouny arms but surely they are capable of torquing a set of head bolts up?

To torque the bolts up. I cant do that aswell as stopping the engine from moving whilst its balanced on bricks on the floor. I tried it with my GT engine, didnt work, and i had a wall to lean it up against then in a garage, this time the engines in the house :lol:

If i had a stand, i could do it as all itd take was one foot to stop the stand from moving.

Lay the engine on its front or back once your torquing them up, use the engines weight and shape against it. Did mine fine it was more awkward than having a stand or a second person but not the end of the world :thumbsup:

Or I'll just wait till brett can come and help me lol....

Pressed the new engine mount rubber in, which was a bit of a nice person to do. And took the MK3 alt pulley off, need to look at the conversion thread now cus i know something needs modifying, just cant remember what lol.

What torque to AFH head bolts need to be?

Toby, check the diameter of the suspension strut for me, the tube that the shocks slide into i mean.

I'm guessing its 2"

You just need to make a little spot in the 6n pulley for the woodrift key to slot in to. With it only being alloy its a piece of urine to do at home with basic tools (i used a mini hack saw)

I don't have any mk3 struts max, I'm on coilovers ;)

Saf says in the thread you have to cut I bit off the pulley? Then yeah, the bit for the woodruf key thing.

At work, gay I can't be in the sun doing this.

i sawed the back spacer bit off the pulley, then put a slot for the key, then i could use all the mk2 alternator spacer shit
