The max these engines can be taken to is 83.5mm- and at this the block gets a bit too thin between the bores.(won't do any of the 5 or 4 cyl (vw) engines more than 83mm) Rally engines yes as they will only last a season before they are scrapped.
Hpmuirt is spot on with the torque plate it needs to have settled
The block will need to be sized dependent on what pistons you are using ( cast or forged ) due to different expansion rates (usually supplied by the piston manufacturer.)
Then each piston will need it's rings gapped for its individual cylinder.
and people wonder why it costs so much for an engine rebuild...............
I use a local engine machinist- great guy never have had a problem- but he is old school and does it at his pace................
