[grantndub]

Started on taking care of an oil leak with replacing upper timing chain guide rail and cover.

I didn't expect it to be this bad. It wasn't making much noise and didn't really have the typical VR6 chain noise.

Noticed this on #5 the cam lobe is rounded off.

Ordered ultimate timing chain set from ECS. Didn't find all the parts to the guide rail so tomorrow off comes the oil pan.

[oldskooldublove]

went to test my 18" wheels for fitment today, decided to throw them on the blancer and turns out they are way the hell outta round

[yeabmx]

Raised the engine, took it for a drive. And I'm all 's.

[Coltron]

Put on my new exhaust because straight pipe was a terrible idea.


Also did the ball joints and installed a raxle axle on the drivers side.

[oakdub]

Oh and everytime I see the front of your car I think for a second that I'm looking at mine.

why are you adding the SAI and Evap back on? i chunked mine, it would basically be a pain in the ass to buy all the right size vacuum lines and all that to put it back on again.

[Niagara_V_Dub]

Sealed up my massive leak in my air horn line, now I can have it my 152db train horn armed at all times! Already used it in anger again... kid running across the street almost shat himself.

Because of this Disaster: http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthrea...-help-guidance

I need to get it as close to stock as possible to make sure everything is ok. I'll be installing a catch can on principle (thanks to what I've seen with my MkV) so I'll be able to disregard some of it.

Not 100% sure what I need in the state of MA, but I'll be putting it back together and working from there.
