Hi all,I've got my self a GTi6 and I'm planning on rebuilding the engine. Wheres the best place to buy parts? I'm thinking, valves, valve seals/guides, main bearings, big end bearings. Possibly get the cam's reground. Can anyone recommend places/rough prices? Thanks, Tom. |

Pretty sure you can't buy guides but you shouldn't need them unless its a tapper ? or valves infact you could just strip it down and put it back together after a good clean with re lapped valves. Should be good as new with all new gaskets and seals |

But theres tipex on the pulleys, and small indents where the valves have hit the pistons. Is there anything else I should be checking? Thanks for your help. |
