New engine...golf mk1, where to buy from?
im looking to buy a new 1600 mk1 8v engine for my golf…i was about to get mine rebuilt but the mechanic found a hairline crack in the head…
id like to keep everything original, so my question is where can i buy an engine from…maybe even a race tuned one?
many thanks!

if you still like the idea of reconditioning an engine, i would highly recommend, 'scouse' or 'crazyquiff' on the furum. Although i didnt buy a used engine from them they were very helpful all the same.
I eventually went and bought a VEGE engine. I think they have their own website. I got the 1.8 8v so not sure if they do a 1.6 8v. they are VAG engines though and of the highest quality (so i am told)
i was recomennded 'big boys toys' or something like that. i'm sure if you google it you will find it.
Hope this helps, and good luck.
Andrew

Very expensive.
For that kind of money i may as well install a tuned sport engine in.
Anyone no of anymore info pls let me no.
Cheers.

the reason I ask is that I have a piper285 cam with a head, but i was told it was a bad idea to fit it to my brand new VEGE engine. :mrgreen: (sorry)
what sort of tick over will it have? lumpy?
thanks, Andrew
