They are substantial mate 🙌🏻😆

@@DRMotorsport1976 Be snapping your bar before they let go 🤣

@@stewills9711 Haha... I thought I was going to do that on removal 🙈😆 Refitting them will be a twitchy time 😂

@@DRMotorsport1976 😂 yeah I bet, 300º basically turn it till just before it strips 😬

@@stewills9711 You know the score then....lol! I believe a lot of the ones that go wrong are down to cheaper head bolts and not cleaning/lubricating them properly. Everything crossed when the time comes for me 😂🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

PK Ripper 👌🏻🤙🏻

I believe that's the case mate. However, there's no evidence of delamination on the gasket 👍🏻

@@DRMotorsport1976 may not be delamination could be just they get weak and the seals go A friend of mine runs a 205 GTi in hillclimbing and had a issue where every now and again it threw some water out of the header tank but didn't over heat but then could be fine after it had done it for the rest of the day this continued on and off at most evens he did over the following winter stripped the engine to find no visible issues after changing the head gasket and putting back together the issue never happened again , sounds similar to your issue

It's definitely down to a failed injector mate. They were second hand when they were fitted onto the Jenveys. I should have had them checked when I rebuilt the car 🫣😬👎🏻

@DRMotorsport1976 I was think about the cylinder with low compression. It is not piston or head gasket then it must be leaking somewhere in the head, no?

@@johngregory5280 It had been stood for a week, it could have been down to a lifter. The head will be getting pressure tested before any work is carried out on it 🙂👍🏻

It can if you're careless enough. Mine are well fitted and haven't moved. In fact the protrusion dimensions are bang on 🙂👍🏻

Thanks mate 😁👍🏻

Thanks mate 😎

Never be afraid to have a go. This is why I started the channel in the first place, to inspire people to have a go 😊🤙🏻

Shit happens eh mate, we'll see what the damage is when I get the engine out and head off. That'll determine where things go 😆🤙🏻🤙🏻

Thanks mate. I'll do the rebuild myself, done fair few over the years 😁 Hopefully it's a rebuild and not damaged beyond repair 🫣😬

Mine is smoking on tik over time to spend I think , spray it first then think about the engine next winter try go to a few shows with it this year an do a few rallys , hope you get yours back up an running mate

Confirmed zero compression on cylinder 2 earlier on. It's an engine out jobber as I suspect 😑😬👎🏻

Hi mate, it's a single coil that supplies all four plugs. Zero compression on cylinder no 2 so it's an engine out job 😑😬👎🏻

@@DRMotorsport1976 bugger, what do you think is the likely cause, from memory many years ago I think you could a wet test to prove the ring is that still relevant with modern engines, I'm guessing the least worst is a bugged valve is that correct?

Di bod wrthi gynharach yn gwneud compression test, injian allan jobar mêt 😑😬👎🏻👎🏻

@@DRMotorsport1976 ti jest y boi ir job! Paid a ddigaloni...content arbenig iawn ir youtube massive! Cymer amser gyfaill a mwynhewch y trafalgar y campyrfan

I will, but after today's compression testing it's an engine out 😬👎🏻

@@DRMotorsport1976 I want this car so please fix it haha. Seriously, its a pain in the arse but there's nothing quite like it. An absolutely amazing car.

Thanks for your message. I'll be sorting out the sound in the coming season 😊🤙🏻

maison vu la gueule des soudures

They were 708's, no piston work required, they were std pistons mate 🤙🏻

Hello! Yes, I used thinners to clean the bumpers and etch primer before the satin black finish 👍

I used the 205 XS Gearbox with a 106 GTi clutch 🙂👍🏻

Can't beat a 205 GTi to put a smile on your face 😁🙌🏻🙌🏻

Nice one mate! These Gold's are very good just judging by the few miles I've done so far. A far more planted ride 🤙🏻😎

Thanks mate, me too ☺️ I'd have gone Def con 1 had there been another issue 😂 That's exactly the chap who'll be sorting my rear axle out, too. With the added bonus of being down the road. Won't be able to remove the axle for a while due to other commitments, but I'll definitely be enjoying it for now 😁🙌🏻
