How did you make the pins? That know how could come in useful for me in the future...

I hate using hamerite, used on a few engine parts and was complete crap

the pins are made from
2x 6mm shouldered bolts with the threads cut off
1x 9mm ish pin punch filed/sanded down to the correct size using a drill to spin it to keep it round
i then silver soldered washers to the heads and painted them yellow so they stand out

Will the White and gold colour scheme continue on to/in the shell or just the engine bay?

no idea yet
idealy i want the car looking standard ish from the outside
RE: Cully's spare Gti6 engine - 7057sam - 04-03-2014
Looks great
How many coats of gold and lacquer did you give it ?
RE: Cully's spare Gti6 engine - RetroPug - 04-03-2014
Guy on the '6 forum does cheap, good manifold badges in loads of designs & colours etc. if you want one to continue that colour scheme.

Around 3coats of primer grey/grey/white
Tin and half colour 2/3 coats
2/3coats lacquer
I don't need a badge for the inlet as I've saved the standard one

Gold calipers, tow eye, dare I say...badges and the flat face of the locks would look cool but not sure how it would last

ebay Engine Dressing Kit £8.96 delivered ebay used "performanceraceparts"
be warned they dont have the 4 sizes needed to make it look std
i may need to buy a second kit or extra tube yet
the kit only includes cable ties
coloured electrical Tape is extras

This should look absolutely mint when you're done, fair play fella.
RE: Cully's spare Gti6 engine - cully - 09-03-2014
right spot the mistake!
after fitting the cambelt tensioning it up and standing back to admire my work
i went DOH!
now ive got to do it all again
tell me why?
[attachment=14206]
it might not be that clear in the picture
the engine turns over no problems no clicking clunking or abnormal noise

A stab in the dark...a cover?
Cully's spare Gti6 engine - callumcull - 09-03-2014
Isn't there meant to be a plastic cover directly on the block side of the belt?

Cam belt on the wrong way

Can you put a cambelt on the wrong way round?
RE: Cully's spare Gti6 engine - Paul_13 - 09-03-2014
Have you put the cam seals in? I'm struggling to see in any of your pics whether you've fitted them or not
The writing is always meant to face the other way to what is fitted in the pic above

I'm not saying you're wrong, but why?
RE: Cully's spare Gti6 engine - Paul_13 - 09-03-2014
What I've always been taught when working in garages. I could be wrong but I got a very stern bollocking off a mechanic for putting on wrong and it's stuck in my head ever since
RE: Cully's spare Gti6 engine - cully - 09-03-2014
Yes the cambelt is on the wrong way round
it has to be run in the direction of arrows as the belt is manufactured that way

and the blue snakes are coming along quite nice
