Just back dating - Never made it EBi in the van. Put new heads on and while i was at it change the piston rings. But after a test run she was blowing blue smoke and loss of power so went in my golf estate instead.
Once back from Ebi took engine out again and stripped it again. I thought i had a standard 1600 engine but after taking the new piston rings off found that it wasn't...!! 1st thought it was a 1641cc but after some investigation and some measuring i have a 1679cc but with older piston heads so the ring size is 2mm x 2mm x 5mm (NO Uk stockists). After a lot of searching i managed to get a set from Belgium through dave at Kingfisher Kustoms.

So tonights job was to take off heads again, remove wrong sized rings and put on the correct set..!!!






Job done.....Well 1st bit
