No mate got standard size valves, I think 1mm over size don't flow massive amounts more for the money it costs to work the head

Well here are some more photos of the build going on,
Block bored 83mm, Arp main studs in, calico bearings in, squirters in
Crank in, realised we where missing thrust washers but managed to get some same day
1.8t oil pump drive gear and chain on
Pistons etc all sorted
Ring gapping check
Pistons and rods assembled
All going in
All in and torqued up
Head on and timing checked before final assembly
Really looking forward to getting this back on Sunday, only got a few more bits to order before the engine can go back in

I'm going to run it in on the big turbo, just with stock injectors, maf and on waste gate pressure.
Looks very good James . I'm curious on the result. Keep it up...
I will do the same build this year. Maybe with a EFR/BW turbo.

Well here it is as it currently stands, with the sump, oil filter housing etc on.
Decided that it would be an offence to such a clean engine to put a shitty dirty cam cover back on so set about it with some cleaning bits
Still a few tiny bits of oil that are being a bit stubborn, will get these off tomorrow night then set about painting it this weekend probably.
Going to do a bit more shopping this week.
1. Diff
2. Engine mounts
3. 044 pump
4. Tubular manifold
I think these are the only major parts that I am missing now, the rest should just be pipework, electrical connectors, oil and water, oh and a remap Really hoping to have this finished by the beginning of march which is ahead of schedule but not sure it's a realistic target.

Yer mate, just desperate to get it finished, I miss driving it even when it was on the k04, god only knows what it's going to be like after
Ordered myself a diff today, went for the wavetrac in the end also ordered myself a DA31 pump and fittings from bill @ Badger5.

Awesome, engine is looking good!
Looking forward to the pictures after your remaining shopping items are bought!

Great choice mate!
Cheers, don't think it's going to be here for a couple of weeks tho, although the SEM should be here this week
Yer, not got a lot to buy now, trying to do it all without the mrs finding out because we're buying a house atm, and should be saving the money for that but I can't resisit.

Sounds Familiar
Only a minor update, picked up my bearings for diff and a new thermostat today in preparation for getting all this back together. Looks like my house purchase is going to come through this week so this might take the back burner for a couple of weeks / months, the mrs thinks the need for a new house is far greater than the need for me to have a fast car
Picked myself up a Peugeot 306 1.9 tdi in the meantime so I've got something to 'to and fro' to work in as I have been relying on lifts since this was all taken apart and as my new house isnt on route for any of the people at work had to by myself a temp car. 9 months MOT, 11 months tax from a family friend so know it's been cared for. Let's hope it's reliable enough to get me to work as I think I'll probably keep it as my daily driver and have the Leon for a 'weekend' car.
Will still be putting up plenty of updates as the only big part I've got left to order is a exhaust mani and then I can start putting the engine back in, got plenty of bits on order so they should be turning up over the next fortnight...... Watch this space.
