Great to see some progress, Steve.

I'm really not understanding the Baboon thing..

sorry to sound like a dunce, but how small is the angle on the V6 on these motors?? (was suprised to see a single head !!)

**VOLKSMAN** · 05-12-2009, 07:35 PM

your looking at a 15 degree offset to each bank.

**Preen59** · 05-12-2009, 07:37 PM

Yeah they're almost a staggered bore straight 6. That's why they sound so much different. Pitty the heads flow so poorly.. They're a pretty cool engine.

So I got more work done on the car over the weekend as I was in the mood after working my ass on Saturday with my dads new Toledo

We grinded the rest of the engine bay on the Sunday and now she is ready for paint WOAHHHH!

I'm really keen to get my car finished now hopefully won't take too long at the painters but I have all trust in the place where I am taking it to JADE AUTO, I have seen there work and its fantastic

Its a bit of a cheap shot which will only ever end in starting more fights. Whilst im not defending anyone I dont think there is a need for name calling on the forum. This stupid tit for tat thing needs to end because its getting pretty tiring and senior forum members should know better.

Anyways nice progress Steve. Cant wait to see this thing back on the streets.
I see you ended up going the mk4 head gasket route. I hope that turns out well for you especially after you mentioned that you were having pinging problems before the engine come apart.

Yeah cheers Tim I was getting pinging and we couldn't diagnose the problem which was really annoying

This will be the NA motor another motor for a turbo will be built up after this is completed
