Now waiting on 2x mounts and clutch-to-flywheel bolts. Then I can get the flywheel looked at to see if anything can safely be removed.

Will be:Plugs, inlet and cam covers sorting out. New cambelt and pump to go on. Install the gearshift Crank Seal Might get the clutch fork sorted out. Flywheel, clutch and box on, depending if the flywheel is back from the machine shop. Might get some of the wiring sorted out. Weigh some more things Yours? ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

We are going to extend the current clutch fork up through the nylon bush and then use the GTi6 cable to work it. Fair bit to fabricate there Cool - sounds like you'll be running waaay before me then ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

Small update.The GTi6 engine was fairly fubar'd. Head gasket had a pretty large hole (biggest Mei has ever seen - sheltered life ) in it between the cylinders. One piston has very bad wear on the edge and there is about a 0.5mm deep groove in the head. Not sure if it can be saved tbh. Shame as its fine otherwise and the valves are all good. Any idea if it can be filled and skimmed? Crank and camshafts on ebay soon... ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

Good effort on the headgasket, will be watching this project as always wanted to know whats involved with the conversion.Is the piston above a gti6 one? It looks dished in the pic and the ones i have seen are flat top. ________________________________________ Ryan |

Yes its a flat top GTi6 piston - dodgy mobile photo i'm afraid.Well... split the autobox off with torque convertor and flywheel, cambelt + water pump changed to the new type (coming off again to sort the cam cover leaks), split the old engine, fixed the 406 dTurbo gear linkage and changed over it wheels... Not able to make a great deal of progress on putting it in due to no clutch/flywheel or mounts. Meirion wanted to do the wiring when its in the car. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |
