CNC heads are now porting the Audi 5 cylinder cost is roughly £2000-£2500 iirc

Some nasty bint made me an offer just outside Asda in Lower Earley, can't say for the quality as i turned her down but it was damn cheap

Can't help really but I'm sure Aelred would know, or could do it, if you'll travel half an hour. Prob worth a try. I had 034 oversize valves and a bunch of lightweight bits fitted to rev to 8k on my old engine, cost all about £800 in parts and machining for the headwork, shame it only lasted 200 miles!!

How come it only lasted that long???!!!

Coz it was build by a complete muppet; see "David in Dublin"s sig and you can apply it to me, though i was lucky enough to get most of the parts back.

A bigend bearing melted, by the time the rattle became noticeable (car was very loud and the engine vibration was harsh) the damage was done - pullin over to the hard shoulder the rod bigend gave out, it snapped in half against the bottom of the bore and punched a hole in the block.

Sold the head and turbo on cheap and quickly, used the cash and lots of help from forum members to get parts to fit a new engine and put the car back on the road, and now selling it on as I've jsut bought an RS2.

He does, excellent work too. User name RWD19T on here. It won't cost you £2.5k either!

[m11kyg]

Well it is sounding like RWD19T is the man to talk to, i'm pretty much buying every part that 034 do so need all the help i can get putting it all together

Andy,

Does he do Golf heads too??

Been thinking about this for ages for it!!

[AndyP]

I would have thought so. I was under the impression that the 16v Golf head was an S2 head with a cylinder lopped off?
