dont be scared mate, its not hard, just take your time and check everything you do 2 or 3 times, and all being well, you will have a decent motor at the end of it.d
engines i used to be good at, but i remember when i took my first gearbox apart, lobbed all the bits on the bos, and ended up with about 100 bits and hadnt a clue as to where they went, had to get dad round to get me out the poo.

The block was bored out to +020mm, and I fitted gen pistons. The cylinder head, valves, springs, guides, etc are all brand new too (From Turner Engineering). As far as I'm concerned it looks new and is as good as.

Hi Lez,just out of interest how much did it cost?
To give TDi90 a idea.
Thanks Ash.

About £900 so far.
Still need to get a new PAS pump and either get the turbo rebuilt or buy a new one, so the whole thing will end-up coting about £1500 perhaps.
