It does get tighter as it warms up - this always seemed strange to me too Wrinx, but I can confirm it. I had a racecar version of this engine, and because it had no belt guards I could put my hands...

You can find it by looking up the part numbers of the coils online...
My 'old' car is still happily running 9.3:1 compression with 1.5 bar boost. It all depends on the total engine setup including the fuel and the ecu. The actual compression number is just that 'a...
Great Job! The car is looking great.
The overlap issue has been well covered in many posts. It is quite simple to implement a setup with the 166 calipers and the 305mm fiat coupe disks with no overlap. It just takes careful measurement...
Great work!
Wrinx, It looks great - thought maybe it would have been simpler just to purchase a new house! Its great if you can organize things so that the car cannot be pressed inadvertently into the ceiling...
No, never heard of them, but I'd like one of everything they have on their catalogue!
Its not 'normal' to have excessive cam wear with this engine - its abnormal - some other forces must be at play to have caused this other than the 'normal operating conditions'. My my oil pressure...
Hoist and car looking great!!
where did the metal from the cam lobes go! ??
Congratulations.. lets see a car on it!!

Actually, the rear brakes are a bit of a pain - but you get used to it.. and then its not so bad.. you can make up a could of small, free 'special tools' that help!
I couldn't even imagine using non synthetic oil. Castrol Edge 10w60 is $70.00 AUD here .. that's about tuppence ha'penny in British pounds! Mobile 1 is just too thin for the Q4's oil pump - I am...
I hope that you don't have the original clips sans worm drives... I don't think it is possible to remove them without first removing the manifold - or at least, I was not able to do it...Perhaps you...
I did not notice any difference at all, after removing the balance shafts... but then again... I had the crank and flywheel balanced as an assembly before reassembling the engine...

If they are in really tight - and you have not yet rounded out the hex head - then I have had a lot of success with using small vice grips around the head of the bolt at the same time as the hex...
You could put some new oil in too ....
At first I thought bonnet mounted canon - like a bat-mobile...
but no..

That was a great read with my morning coffee Steve! The GVT looks really good - thank god you didn't choose the one with the crappy bodywork!
on the front, you need to use the purpose built points that are a inward from the sills and a little further forwards. If you jack up a standard 1400kg q4 with a typical sort of trolley jack that...
yes.. use the 1.9mm one if you want similar thickness to the original gasket. Put it on totally dry - with no adhesives or anything
...
looking forwards to the pics, Steve...
I have used the same cometic gasket several times - never had any problems..I have also used them at 1.5 bar without problem - and they only cost about $120.00
I should have done this!!
