when we making a trailor outa that G40 shell?

Don't know if its right to chop up a pristien G40 just to make a trailer don't think it'd go down well with people on here lol

i think you should def do it

be one of a kind

I know your doing this as a laugh but if it was me i would be tempted to put the g40 valves in, could give more power and make it last longer. Depending on what the weak point will be, I'm guessing the bottom end,rods and pistons not being too happy :lol:

Its having a G40 head on with the sodium valves

I'm not just a pretty face lol

barely that :p

Just use a proper bottom end and not have an engine that'll potential waste your hard earned cash?

will do asap

Someones done it before.

There used to be a shoddy video on youtube but can't find it now.

You trying to say it worked then? type in mk2 polo eaton is that the video if so its a mk2 1 litre with and eaton bolted on not a mk3 aau with everything from a G40 bolted on

Yeah, thats the one.. It never said mk2 polo when i looked last so i assumed it was a mk3! My bad!

But if the whole thing is costing you as little as you say, get it done!

The pistons are to close to the head for my liking so i'm aborting this mission lol i'm gutted i was looking forward to doing it too so onto the next thing can you do it to an abd bottom end?

I didn't think the 1l had pistons that stuck out?

Carnt you just retard the timing a few teeth? loool

Or take the pistons out and get them skim'd cheappp?
