    Mostly stock 1.8L with all new seals and forged pistons, few new parts and again ALL NEW SEALS, i assembled this motor mostly by using a Bentley manual and the only problem i had with it was a timing issue.

    I also am selling just about everything from the car, minus the body!

    What pistons are in it? Brand, comp ratio? Is this a PL block?
    Volkswagen's are just buckets for all your money to go into with -100% ROI

    To the best of my knowledge its just a PF engine with forged pistons in it, but i dont know the exact brand.

    I bought it off a friend about a year ago and he had done about half the rebuild when he sold it to me, once i had it i finished the rebuild and put it in my car.

    If i can get a hold of my old friend ill ask for info, but for now thats about all i know!

    the few times we had it up and running it sounded like it was firing too early and then a few times like it was firing late...had an older mechanic friend help me out a couple times and we had it spot on once and after a little bit it was out of time again, may have just been the timing belt

    i am pretty much broke and would much rather spend any little bit of money i have on getting and building up a VR6 than a 1.8

    both motors can be picked up for $300, or if you have something worthwhile to trade...

    Was wondering if you still had this and how it would be for the head shipped to 97101?
    Thank you
