Must be an old pro at taking these motors in/out! Good progress

Re: Whipping my mama volvo...ugh VW

Yeah you bet. Took me 3 hours or so, taking it easy. Plus whatever it took to take the pan off

Anyways, with friends leaving for university the car hasn't gotten much attention. Got all the go fast parts out and tranny/clutch off.

I'd check that turbo out closely to make sure nothing went through it too :(

Yeah it doesn't look like it. It's not going back in the car anyways. And I'm more just including it in the sale of my parts to complete it, but i probably wouldn't run it since it already burnt oil before

Already update time!!!!

Well I don't this think I can get rid of this POS lol. So I will be keeping it I think, still not official, but it puts a smile on my face every time I look at it and/or drive it. And that's the only reassurance I need to have to keep it. So for sure ie rods, bearings and rings. But most likely a set of je or cp piston's at a 9.25:1 or 9.5:1 compression. And likely a gt3071r, gtx3071r or gtx2867r.

Front is so high without the weight of the motor

Yeah if I owned the house I would get one. It's massive.

In other news, I got my head back. After being quoted 500 with parts it came out to nearly double at 885$...I'm not a happy camper.

Machine shops think 20v heads are the devil, so after ripping his hair out, he probably just jacked up the price.

Re: Whipping my mama volvo...ugh VW

Well I've decided I can't financially afford to build a motor so it's going back to stock and likely selling the car. But I slapped the head back on tonight
