It took a couple days to tear down the front of the car due to my already hectic real work schedule and my wanting to investigate all thats different in the Corrado from my old MKIIIs.

When I arrived it looked like so...

It's a little darker in there when you close the door...

We took our time(me and a buddy CasroVW taking all the plugs off and having a grand ol' time.

don't mind the eye protection, i was tired of coolant dripping in my eyes the day before and just put them on for giggles.

Pretty soon we had the intake manifold off and were getting ready to separate the motor from the exhaust and axles

But we were all stricken with a terrible case of the lazies and called it a day. So I leave the first post in this thread with an attempt at an artsy picture of the valve cover.

Plans are to pull rebuild and put some fun parts in the motor along with refresh all the aging suspension bits and have a good last project with my dad before I move away here in a couple years.

Stay tuned, hopefully pull the motor this weekend and start tearing it down and ordering parts.

are you going to attempt to fix that or get a new one?

Thats the man behind all of my genius, he's been trucking me around for just shy of 21 years now.

The shop dog

Its a 2001 Pomeranian and something mixed, but Biscuit is the bomb and is always down to smile at you in your worst position.

Car's ready to get put back outside and the VR is still in the cardboard box. Gotta get the engine stand out and tear her up next weekend.

Any updates?

We got the head off and this is what we found...

YUMMY!!!

Also, what did everyone use to pull the valves? the special tool looks a bit overboard, and the valve spring compressor looked do able, but we didnt have ours in house, it was at the shop

We have also decided to use my old(50k) VR6 from my old MKIII and basically turn it OBDI, maybe switch over to coilpack ignition, I'm still working on my decision on that and chip tuning. So if you have any opinions on that please post up

Thats as much as I had in the bank, I will be going into debt for the rest... I know but, i've got the money coming so I'll be able to pay it off in a couple months.

my only reccomendation would be to seriously consider weather or not you will go FI at any time soon. this way, you can build the motor accordingly, while it is out.

also, i like that you mentioned the "model year" of your dog, it made me lol.

" i have a 1996 shi tsu, it is a little old, and can't learn new tricks, but i got a deal on it, and it runs well. plus, i like the color."

I won't be going FI any time soon, well 1 of these motors probably will, but not this one. I'm going to be keeping this lower mile motor with moderate power and then during my off time waiting for my buddy to pay for the other one i'm gonna start building it, so he can pay me more

He wants turbo VR, and well I want to build one, but I don't wanna deal with one so i'll build him one and let him deal with it for the next 100k miles

Hooray parts!

Still gotta get some bigger brakes and hopefully meet russel fer some samco goodness.

hopefully pull the motor from the blue jetta this weekend, snow permitting.

NOS is like a dirty whore...You know you want to hit it, but your scared of the consequences!

how could this help air flow? the air doesnt travel down the stem, it comes in on the sides...?

The valves are also quite confusing can you find more info for me?

It is just a necking down of the valve stem where the air flows, essentially cheating your head into thinking it has larger ports ( think area where the stem isn't ).

It's common to drop to 7mm stems ( which taper down to 6.5mm ) on a G60 which came with 8mm valve stems stock.

I have no idea where you would get valves like that for a VR.

And remember this,

Knowledge is power, and power corrupts. So study hard and be evil.

Hows life been? Rockin a Raddo now, eh?

IM me, been far too long.

Did you suffer an injury to the forebrain, destroying your logic center? Glad things worked out, but dude...STOP and THINK before running to the Vortex.

.:VWSpeed:.

and when did vwspeed.net/forums get hacked

vwspeed got hacked a bit back when I was working to much to sleep let alone have an e-life

on with the updates

We tore down the blue Jetta and its motor and now have 2 vr's in the garage waiting for 1 to be put together and then the other will be built and sold to my buddy. I'm going more on the mild side and my dad actually wants to turbo the other one, so Cory can pay for that

On with the pictures

All of my remaining vehicles, hopefully new blue(the blue jetter) is gone soon, but never forgotten

Sweet digger dude

The other little beast

Thats all i got yesterday, if you want any info on a specific picture I can post that up, but theres too many for my brain to think
