Anyone got an old GTi-6 motor knocking about? Don't care about age / mileage / spec etc etc, as it's being rebuilt into a high comp motor.
As long as there's no holes in the block, or head has been skimmed out of tolerance.
Thanks,
JP

I have a GTi engine sitting on a bench at home, just the bare engine at the moment. £100 collected its in kent. Might be a bit too far for you.
If you're interested i will be travelling back to kent in a couple of weeks.

I'm assuming high comp means he's going to go throttle bodies again but with better internals, maybe 2.1 and up the compression ratio

Bit of a project for winter for me. Not quite sure 100% yet, but hoping to get up to 2.1/2.2l, and use high compression forged rods / pistons.
Quite enjoying this n/a tuning lark...

If youre overboring I have a spare block, no crank, but if you want to go bigger cc then thats no issue.
only problem is they weigh 47 kilos as they are (all caps and spraybars present)
