i was just about to comment on this ... looks like you've though of everything

Not me, the design for the girdle, inc spacer came from Audi_CQ

[Mark Halligan]

Anyway its all in and using an Ally flywheel from Cees and Jeffer with a clutchnet clutch bolted to it.

That's just awesome.

I wish I had the time/space/money to go to such lengths, must be quite rewarding when it's all up and running.

It's been a long time coming and the hours, days, weeks, months.....should I say years you've put into this really show. You are a credit to the I5 community

I look forward to the dyno day when you get the 35/40 bolted on

I am using a main bearing girdle, and many thanks to Audi_CQ (Roger) for generously providing me with the details for it manufacture.

For what is something like this good?

Awesome Mark

Fantastic attention to detail.I now know who to ask when I eventually need a rebuild

[SteveH]

For what is something like this good?

The bearing girdle provides additional strenght to the bottom end, this will help to ensure all dimensions remain constant. This bottom end would be good for very high HP

[Billman]

does someone has a sheet with the dimentions of it? what must someone take care of when installing something like this?

@Mark

Very nice engine, hope mine will look a tad like this in the future...

TS rings seated real quick and seem fine so far.

Hard to tell about noise, I just got back from a short drive, and my gearbox sounds terrible whilst driving and at idle unless I dip the clutch......all sounds good then. I need to change it soon as I don't think it has long left

I am using the DP inlet manifold I made a while ago

Cheers
