I've been meaning to download a few pics from the camera... here's how things were looking a week ago:

Out with the old K24... 150,000 miles late, and nearly ready for retirement. And has no shaft play b

Nice RS2 manifold :mischeif:

Finally managed to get that jammed radiator out! Had to remove a few other major components though...

you should see the other I have on the way mate. If only I could get hold of some studs for it!!

I'll get some pics of the engine next - will be installed by then though!

[Jamo]

Whats the problem with the studs?

[Ross]

RS2 studs are different to the S2 studs aparrently. I overlooked that, and Audi only have 9 in stock (of the required 16). At the moment I don't even have an ETA, so trying to figure out an alternate. More delays...

You can cut down the S2 studs although it's not ideal, it's a listed mod on the forum by Doug_RS2 somewhere........

Isnt it just the two middle studs on the bottom row that need to be shorter

[Keeper of The Kitten]

The studs from the head to the exhaust manifold are the longer ones?

I ask because I am doing exactly the same thing! I think I might be ok though because I have an engine which was already using RS2 EM.

I'll have to get some Kitty pics on here I think!
