I'm only just starting to chalk up my experience - I do take encouragement when i see posts from yourself (among others
) detailing your Maintenance/Repair undertakings
r.e Liners - my Existing Liners are sitting almost flush, just a fraction proud - as I have no Issues to suggest any problems with the Headgasket seal I'll be happy to fit new Liners.
the only thing r.e Cylinder Liner Shims that concerns me - might there be a reason Rimmers stock K-Series Cylinder Liner Shims but don't offer them as a part for the 1.8t
??
just something I noticed that may be worth considering/investigating further
Rimmers may Not be the final word - However they seem more on the ball than some other suppliers who seem to believe the 1.8 and 1.8t use all the same spec parts
a bit like the revised torquing sequence of 20nmx180x135 degrees when fitting high Tensile 10.9 head Bolts - I've found no info or evidence to suggest that this was ever an official revision
my Payen Bolts (10.9) state 20nmx90x90x90x90
Good enough for me.
Paul.
