lets wait a few weeks til i steal the time to take off the head. you can bet the next time she gives me 4 hours imma do it.
but on the explosive last vid, you can see where it exited the head. front corner intake side. lucky it did not blow up the car, as that is where the fuel cell is
and Myke, sorry big fella, i am not in too much a hurry to fix it again. i tried like hell the last two times. not goin to do it in a hurry now.
looking into O-ringing the block. so anyone have info on that pertaining to the 1.8T 20v, shoot me with some of it.

one other thing....
Mike has his dyno pulled in 4th gear... mine has only ever been in third gear. and we ALL KNOW that 4th gear is the better gear to pull with on the dyno....
and sure, we can set mike as the goal for the 4cyl, its top dawg for 4cyl Quattro cars AFAIK.

They just like weld a support across the passage (similar to a bridgeport setup if you are familiar), and supposedly it keeps the head from flexing from what I gather. My roommate told me about all of this and says there are some pictures of it. I'll see if he can find them.

What Head gasket and studs are you running? Don't know if they make them for you but in the dsm world running off the shelf arp is a big no no as they are only 8740. The norm for us is L19s and a fel-pro MLS. Only thing is you have to make sure your block and head have a finish of ra30 or less. I my self hand lap my block and head to a mirror shine. Friends have also been doing the same set up and pushed over 48psi with out the head lifting.

interesting questions here....
ill be planning on running 'off the shelf' APR head bolts....but im no where near put together motor wise yet.

I'm going to take a guess and say they are 8740. Don't know if its any help but when I was using the off the shelf ARP's that are 8740 I was lifting the head at 30psi. Now that I am on a Fel-pro mls with ARP L19s and a block and head that have a finish of less than 30ra I am not having any problems. Good luck and hope you get it all fixed and running

How does one hand lap a block or head?

the best way to find out what there ARP are im assuming would be to call them directly?

We are running raceware Studs as well have seen over 40psi and no headgasket popping at all with oem 1.8t HG. either timimg is way off, head is not straight, or those big bore HG can handle the boost since they come from a NA motor..
i mean you know Aaron ive ran my car alot with good boost and never blew the HG, you make a couple of dyno passes and blow it everytime. :frustrated:
Hope you figure out the problem

timing is 19.5 - 20.5 on top....
block was checked prior to this build.
head was checked and milled .006 to flat as well.
