[ontarv]

well before it stoped it was a bored and balanced 1.6 with big manly
valves 40.5 & 36 and ported and cam was scatt c 35 grind with weber
but head was bent and had cracks under 5 valve seats and had washed
the bore aswell . so i went to doner car 77 bored and deck block
and machined crank and balanced cause other was wornin thrust.
cam was pitted had reground. but spare head was a banana and they
broke it trying to get it straight , big spanner in works. so i have big valves and cam but no head for them.

Welcome mate! Looks a good Golf in the making. C'mon, you guys.... surely someone has a spare head lying around :D Help this guy out!

[gtimk5]

I have a couple of heads lying around but might need overhauling. Surely there are heaps in vic tho. Wait till the "swallowtailers" see your Golf today, you shoud get some responses! If no-one has a head over there let me know. Cheers! :D

[ontarv]

another thing it needs clutch upgrade aswell smoked standard one
any sugestions thanks for the reply's :D

[Golf Loon]

Ive got a couple of 1.6 heads lying around. Not big bucks.
And some GTI clutches. PM me or 0423 051737. Freight no worries.

[ontarv]

thanks to golfwise for help with the head :D
how big is a gti clutch 200mm 210mm and
how tuff are they cause im a cruell master :twisted:
i got a factory workshop manual but it doesnt have spec's
that for the help guy's.

[Golf Loon]

170mm Stock clutch, 190mm GTI, 210mm 16v

I think. Some pedant will correct me if I`m wrong. :lol:

[Golfwise]

I'll be it then
1.6 is 190
1.8 2.0 is 210 be it 8 or 16 valve
Stop guessing Loon.
I've never seen a 170 ??????

must change my user name to " PEDANT "

[ontarv]

i was told to ge a button clutch made but drove a
customers supra with one in it and it was crap just like
the rest of the car :lol:

[worm]

Button clutches suck for everyday use. Mate has a r32 gtr with a triple plate and its sucks! stalls all the time, unless you take off at 6000rpm, then u just leave black lines everywhere! :lol:

[Valver.]

Stock VW clutches are excellent anyway :)

[ontarv]

old motor had to much go, i was left with black
clutch plate and a very deeply cracked flywheel
which was sad cause it was balanced. and new
motor will have more go.

[Golfwise]

I used a standard 16v 210 mm clutch on 160 hp motor without any problems and thats street and track work.
Uprated street clutches are available also but at a price. :D
