    did post spec's once
    but as car off the road so long
    it's just back to as it was when i got it
    bored out 20 thou
    balanced crank
    40.5 mm and 36 mm valves ported & polished
    nice cam not big but lumpy
    marly pistons (bmw)
    was great to drive but head was cracked under 5 of
    the valve seats which also washed the bore
    hence rebuild

    i really love the head
    that first of motor and head is inside the house
    my wife must really love me?
    been there a month already

    Nice.. I like color under the hood!
    DOnt need many mods to make a golf fun to drive... infact mk1 golfs are fun to drive without any mods!
