right, thanks col, have to come clean again. ive become an ebay junkie! bought a set of j e pistons last night to bring cc to 1849 i believe(82.5mm). also have emailed some american places ref a set of pauter rods, just to finish the internals while im at it. have sold the seat 18t to someone on these pages (ill let him tell you when hes ready), and am rebuilding the agu golf engine ive had lying for a while. should have some very empty engine bay pics tonight.
couple of questions, theres an awful lot of "soot" on the starter insides, thick black stuff. is that natural or is that a sign my vr6 /helix clutch has been struggling?
can i bin all that auxilliary air injection pump stuff ( the big black plastic pump thing on the front of the block)?

oops! no it was like that when i took all apart. i didnt do it stripping the car, honest.
i found this lying after i had stripped the front engine and side engine mount out. couldnt see which one it was missing from. any ideas? the front mount seems very dodgy anyway. badger5 is looking 120 sterling for one. is any g60? diesel? mounts identical to the ibiza front one?
