bennyk 1,238 Posted September 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) So I got bored at lunch the other day and started unbolting things on my spare engine, it's got piper 264 cams in it , , the rest of the engine seems in pretty good shape according to my co workers as I have no idea about these things! All a bit new to me. Now could do with some advice as to what I should be replacing/uprating when putting this back together? Will be getting the or a supercharger on it at some point, so not going to be going for 500bhp with a turbo conversion or anything like that. Is it worth going for a metal head gasket, arp bolts, or having any head work done? Apart from a skim obviously. Also gave it a big clean earlier ready for Players tomorrow as it's 10mins down the road from me.

bennyk 1,238 Posted September 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 It came apart surprisingly easily! This engine stuffs easy lol! As for putting it back together errr..........The hardest bit was the lower timing chain cover because it was on the stand,I couldn't get it out! The boss don't mind got his head up his arse with his pub as usual so probably won't notice! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Bealieboy 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Bealieboy 1,625 Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Any engine work I've done in the past has normally landed me an odd bolt here and an old vacuum hose there. That's why I pay people to do that stuff now! What time you off to players? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk bennyk 1 Link to post Share on other sites
bennyk 1,238 Posted September 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Early! Meant to be there about 8 apparently for the show n shine Link to post Share on other sites
Bealieboy 1,625 Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Good chance you'll get there on time as you've not got to wait for me! :-)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
bennyk 1,238 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) Finally got some pictures taken of the golf with a proper camera not a phone! This was at Players Show on Sunday; also got some bigger spacer/adaptors to get the wheels sitting a bit better in the arches so I've now got 45mm's on the front and 40mm's on the back and still no rubbing! ;-) Edited September 23, 2014 by bennyk D11PS, Nazza27 and daveyboy 3 Link to post Share on other sites
DanChave 98 Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Sitting very pretty dude, I love those wheels big time I think this is a perfect example of a MK3 for me, I wouldn't change a thing! bennyk 1 Link to post Share on other sites

bennyk 1,238 Posted September 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Yeah need to pull my finger out and get it sorted! I'm just a bit hesitant about messing with the engine as even though she's done 170+k she still drives beautifully and it'll probably break if I start tampering with it, or changing engines and stuff!

Nazza27 35 Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 That shine is insane! i am in love. With your engine, I am following your thread carefully so I know what too do on mine. I am thinking of doing the cambelt and probably the piston rings on mine if that helps you at all. What you thinking of changing/upgrading to yours? Link to post Share on other sites
bennyk 1,238 Posted September 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Not to sure,I don't want to spend a fortune on it, but I'd like to build it a bit 'future proof' in case I do one day decide to turbo it, or do get hold of a rotrex charger and want to run a bit more boost, anyone got any advice on what I should do?

bennyk 1,238 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 Just bought these and can't decide if I like them more than the wintercults, I'd paint them a different colour or something though not a fan of white! thoughts anyone?

Surreyvr6 199 Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 Hard decision, they both look good, should have kept the wintercults on the other side so you have to similar pics to compare them against each other. What colour are would you paint them?Sent from your mums iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
daveyboy 897 Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 (edited) Hmmm I think I'd go with the white ones but just not in whiteWhat are they? Compomotives? Edited November 1, 2014 by daveyboy Link to post Share on other sites
bennyk 1,238 Posted November 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 They're compomotive th mono's, always loved them and they came up at the right price so I bought em! Now I'm not to sure if they go on the golf, I think I'd paint them a pale gold but maybe with matt laquer if I keep em. Though I think Bealieboy likes them quite a lot and he keeps sending me pictures of diamond cut ones so I might look into that! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
daveyboy 897 Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 They'd look nice diamond cut with a black on the inside of the spokes I think they look good on the car bennyk and Bealieboy 2 Link to post Share on other sites
daveyboy 897 Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Then if you decide you don't like them I'm sure Bealieboy will have them off you if he's that keen lol Link to post Share on other sites
c00k 435 Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) I'd say the white wheels, but do them either silver, black or grey Edited November 2, 2014 by c00k bennyk 1 Link to post Share on other sites

DanChave 98 Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Love the TH Monos, always have, but the Winter Cults are a hard wheel to beat in my eyes! I'd like to see the Monos in either a dark copper or metallic grey personally bennyk 1 Link to post Share on other sites
