Wow, nice! You did use stainless bolts on the pump and sump?

[Error404]

Yup, I have used stainless everywhere, unless it is a high tensile bolt required

[Rocco]

will you use a turbo this time Alex?

everything looks excelent

[re2500]

EPIC!

Cheers guys, I'm really enjoying putting it together, its been a long time coming!

I am glad I am not the only one who does that Kit

I use one of these

As soon as you've torqued the nut/bolt put a red line through it. Makes it easy to check you've done them all.

[Error404]

Good tip Andy, I will get one for all the external bolts

OK, so I went to fit my billet CrMo crank sprocket:




What is the deal with the diamond coated washer? This is it fitted without the washer and it seems to line up perfectly with the water pump pulley?
I guess i need to test fit the belt and crank it over a few turns and see how it runs on the cam pullet too.



Checked the piston-deck clearance height:




The ARP studs & MLS gasket:




Finally, head on

Awesome, soooo shiny!

Pulley looks well at home on your build mate, nice work.

Not sure on the washer I can confirm the pulley is a exact copy of a OEM one though

Blimey, things are moving fast now Alex and looking superb, brilliant!

[Error404]

Yeah it really helps having most things there ready to go on.
Still a few bits to sort, and a few bit on back-order with ze Germans but the end is in sight

[Rocco]

you are going very fast

where is the turbo?

[rynaqui]

Just love the look of a newly built engine

Following this closely

Is the washer used on all variants of i5? Does it go behind or in front of the pulley? I've never done my own cambelt on the S2

Its only later AANs & ABY & ADU, so I've never seen one before either. I was thinking about this late last night, I thought if it was going to go anywhere it should be between the crank nose and the sprocket, to increase the friction there - but then there would be a difference in the crank or sprocket and there isn't. So in that case it must then go between the sprocket and the pulley?
