can we get some pictures of the damage to the head?
looks like both of us are doing the same things as in refreshing the engine
measure the head to see if its been skimmed and is within tollerance or you will have an expensive machining job recutting the valve seats further back into the head
Yeah on all 4 dont know why I said 2. I was looking at the pictures trying to think why I said 2. Yeah ill sort pictures of the head no problem, my dad says looking at the head there should be enough room to skim it but will getbit measured.
I also have a spare head which came with the car, chris bought it but isnt 100% sure its good so orignal will get rebuilt.
Well orignally I was selling the hdi to buy one. But with this one I can take my time over winter fixing it, so while ive got head of it will be rude not to take engine out and rebuild the lot. That way I know it will be a nice built engine that should in theory last longer than one if I had spent £1500 on a gti6 (if you catch my drift).
