cheers for the info guys, but vw don't seen to do a 77mm bore with the standard headgasket.
if i use the metal headgasket from a mk4 8v, does anyone know the engine code or part no. to quote them?
and is this still possible to use the G40 headbolts with the metal gasket?
also, when i striped my engine, the camshaft had "PSD G40 P3" stamped on the side of it, i think this may be the eaton cam that they once sold when they were in business, but will this cam still be ok for the 1341 rebuild? ( p.s im using the eaton m45 charger for now, as i bought the car with this charger)
cheers . . .
