I think this has been dragging along long enough now. It seems with every step forward we make we have two or three back.
It has taken me almost 3 weeks to get the engine apart due to having to quickly strip it down to a bare engine in my garage so I could get it into the flat bed so I could get it up to Kris's. This little strip down happened in the last 3hrs of me moving out of my house, as I have no where to store all my car parts while I look for a new place.
With all the parts moved up to Kris's I spent Friday finishing off the stripped of the engine and I finally got it to the machinist for a honing and measure along with a wash. I should have the engine back on Tuesday, when I will finally get a chance to paint the block before heading to Dartmoor for a weekend away. On my return I will hopefully spend some time getting the block back together.
I think I saw earlier in the thread that the gti fly has a different rev pick up to the xud? is this something that can be easily rectrified? Since I would like to use my GTI Billet flywheel.
