Well, looks like there's another gti6 saved 
Absolutely no issues putting the head back on. On the first start it was tapping like f*ck, changed the timing a little and it sounds sweet! I don't remember it sounding this good, my previous thoughts of this being a tapper were right. The timing must have been slightly out.
I can't begin to explain how happy I am that I have her back, that and I've never taken a head off, rebuilt it or changed/timed a cambelt before, so not only do I have the gti back, I've gained a lot of experience.
As for photos, I don't have that many as i was too focussed on getting her running, but here's what I have.
I'm going to get a little lame here, but I want to say a massive thank you to you guys for answering any questions I've asked recently, and massive thank you to cully for the pulleys and some friendly advice! You're all a credit to this forum
