    Beth, you are magnificent! What an inspiration you are for other young women who might want to enter the field of motor mechanics but feel rather daunted. I hope you are as proud of yourself as I’m sure your Dad is. I love watching your videos. Thanks for sharing them.

    took me back to my first vw jetta 30yrs ago now. great work!🎉. you can have a blast with a 260 deg. cam and a G60 exhaust manifold. also the ABA 2.0L valve cover gasket which is made from rubber rather than that leaky cork one . Enjoy ❤.

    @beluxauto5968 Před 2 lety

    Looks all nice and neat. I hope you have success with the paint staying on. You prepared it well and, if the Golf is not your daily, it probably will. I've personally only seen a few that still look nice after being done but then again I only get to see them when I open the hood for maintenance or bigger repairs. All the best to you and your dad and thanks for the upload.

  • @CookRacingUK

    Wish I'd seen this before doing my Fiesta head rebuild, it's running bad and the leak test would have given me confidence in the valves! One less thing to go wrong...

  • @burgerbait
    @burgerbait Před 2 lety

    That head is looking so tidy. I just put a 1.8 pb head on my 1.6 ez engine today and I kind of wish I'd taken the time to give it a proper freshen up like you did. Maybe next time 😅😂

    In Brazil this engine is called "AP" EA827 has 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0, this engine is very good, it was on the market for 35 years, and equipped several cars, having it in 8v 16v and 20v versions, with electronic injection or carburetor, for you Europeans it is known for the mk1 golf engine, for us it came in the "gol" "saveiro" "santana" "parati" and "voyage" that went to the united states and canada as fox, here it is very sought after by people who want to turbo, for being a small and strong engine, bringing a legion of fans called "apzeiros"

    Silver paint? Half expected a brighter or neon colours to jazz up the engine bay 🤙

    nice job!👍 I have the same wurth brake cleaner dispenser and actually I bought it from the UK. And I also have an Mk2 16V GTI.. Unfortunately I don't drive it :(.. It was restored to a state which is too nice to be driven . I know its crazy.. Sometimes I wish I had not put so much work and money into it and then I could have it on the streets today.

    Really good to see your still working on your car and I’ll see how it goes when you get her back together. I like the confusion your dad was trying to do, it was funny you straighten that out. I’m sure it was just a prank

  • @chriscooks9850
    @chriscooks9850 Před 2 lety

    Brilliant! Thanks for the video. Does the acid dip affect the cam journals at all and does it remove all the carbon build up in the ports? Thanks.

  • @fixitnige
    @fixitnige Před 2 lety

    Awesome job Beth, taking 25thou off the head should give you a good compression boost but I think you should have gone with a good cam swap to :) cheers for now.

  • @travisbickle5282
    @travisbickle5282 Před 2 lety +1

    Those engines are a doddle to work on compared to todays cars, most of todays cars are a absolute nightmare to work on. I changed a starter on my Citroen Berlingo HDI and what a absolute nightmare trying to get to the bolts, working on older cars like this in the video was enjoyable unlike modern cars.

    • @levelcrossing150
      @levelcrossing150 Před 2 lety

      I can't get excited about doing jobs on a modern car these days, older cars were so straight forward to work on.

    Looks like you put cam followers 1 and 2 the wrong way round on the bench... might be worth double checking those two 👍

  • @thughes52
    @thughes52 Před 2 lety

    Good video Beth very informative ,just a thought have you not thought of going the route of vr6 engine swap ? .......what sort of power output would you hope to see once back in your golf Beth ? X

    • @usherengineering179
      @usherengineering179  Před 2 lety

      I have thought about a couple of options for an engine swap, but i had the 8v sat there as well as an abf but decided it would be the quickest way to build the 8v so i can use it over the summer! Not sure if im honest, might have to find out!

  • @ravisidhu1667
    @ravisidhu1667 Před 2 lety

    Great vid, I don’t know much about the VW heads, would there be much power gains from the polishing and porting?
    Keep up the good work

    • @MrTheHillfolk
      @MrTheHillfolk Před 2 lety

      The intake side is fair, the exhaust can use some help but it's not too bad.
      Gasket match and clean up rough spots helps em out.

  • @Gustavo_Trab
    @Gustavo_Trab Před 2 lety

    i think this 8 valve is the same engine that we have here in Brazil, 1.6,1.8 and 2.0.

  • @mcjjordan
    @mcjjordan Před 2 lety

    With taking that off the head would that not put the cam timing out?
    Thought that was what adjustable pulleys were for?

    • @usherengineering179
      @usherengineering179  Před 2 lety

      I haven't ruled a vernier pulley out yet, but it shouldn't make enough difference for it to be a problem hopefully, should see when i put it all back together!

    @rudiknapen4863 Před 2 lety

    nice work but you have to remove the valve cover again to put the cylinderhead bolts in

    • @usherengineering179
      @usherengineering179  Před 2 lety +3

      I put the valve cover back on to stop any dirt/debris getting into the head until im ready to put it all together :)

  • @johnthake7401

    @TomvdHeuvel Před 2 lety

    Hey Beth, if i can just give you a tip.
    At around 12:10 i see you cutting the excess masking tape off, what you could do to get some super crisp lines is take a file.
    And just gently file the edge of whatever you are masking off.
    You'll cut the tape exactly on the edge.
    Edit: Just drag downwards with a 45 degree angle.
    If you file upwards you might lift te tape off a bit.

    • @ionstorm66
      @ionstorm66 Před 2 lety

      Yep, I fine a fine round file works the best. You just gently drag downwards while working side to side with it.
