Head is from an early JH solid lifter code engine.
Definately fuel injected but not GTI specification . A lot of folks think because its running K jet its a GTI, this is not so. Other internal engine parameters come to play such as Cam spec, compression, Ignition timing etc...
What is the conrod centre to centre length ??

If it aint a MK 1 then it must be a donor car ??

Mk1 cabby head? Hmm what else sets it aside from the gti head apart from cam? The rod length center-center is 144. Bottom end is in good nick. Even has fresh hone marksOriginally Posted by roccodingo

From what I read on ETKA the cam is the only difference in the head assembly.
Rods are short block @ 144 mm c-c length, so you can use the std hose + timing belt.
If you are re-ringing the pistons run the hone through the bore to deglaze then wash extremely thoroughly to remove all abrasive. Leaving it as it is will increase the chances of ring seal failure at some point in the future. ( crankcase blow by etc)
Check dullness of the bores in this pic., that is fresh honing.

Definately planning on honing the bores and re ringing. Might as well be a thorough as possible. And definately planning on running an aggressive cam. Im also keen on maybe shaving the head a little more for a bit more compression but the idea of relying on my own calculations bothers me haha
