  1. you're right, 1997 onwards, unfortunately I was one of the ones selected in the latest redundancies. once a gunner always a gunner.
  2. Oh yeah (head slap) I dint think of that.
  3. Exactly. Just throw money at it til it works. I would like to keep it simple and keep the stock box with it. If a rover v8 can fit in then a vr6 should.
  4. Mmmmm cobra style. Now you have me thinking
  5. Hi all. I'm am thinking ahead into the future. I know one day my mk3 vr6 will eventually be too full of rust and was thinking that it's the engine that my love is with and would love to put it into a kit car (Westfield or tiger racing, that kind of car). My question is, has it been done? Is it worth doing just to keep my fave engine running
  6. Hi, sorry for the lack of details. Its an obd2 2.8 vr6. I only assumed it will be m12 because I used an M12 spline socket to get them out.
  7. Hi all. I'm needing to clean out my head stud holes in my cylinder block and looking for an M12 tap to use. With There being so many types I'm not sure which one I need, I know it will be an M12, but then what pitch is needed? 1.0,1.25, 1.5, 1.75 pitch. Also what type of tap would I use? Amy links would be great. Many thanks.
  8. Where did you get the charger kit?
  9. Check them? What an I looking for? Surely 0.3 will be okay?
  10. cool, I'll measure them and order longer ones to fit.
  11. cool, i think I will try it your way, so I am working from the front. What size bolts did you use as I am starting from scratch and will have to order them.
  12. Well, my engine stand arrived today so I got to work putting it together. Until I tried to bolt the engine onto it.now I don't know if I have been working too hard or just needing a rest. What side is best to bolt it onto and what bolts to use.

  14. I would love a 24v instead of all this work. I have a feeling that once it is all done and finished that I might stumble across a 24v. It's sods law.
  15. How would bearings be an upgrade? Also with the block decked, how much off the block? And with it still be ok to use a metal gasket to get even better compression
  16. Yeah, I might as well while it's out in the bench
  17. Cheers, I'm not doing anything major, just rebuilding the head and chains
  18. Hi. Where is everyone getting their engine building grease, sealant and all the good stuff like that. Also what brands.
