Re: Tons of oil in breather...

The port on the rear of the valve cover is to tie the block crank vent to the head, due to the massive amounts of oil that will spit out of the crank vent under hard acceleration. As I said before that this was my approach to solving the issue but it gives you a guide line as to what needs to be ...

Nice it will definitely help with the look of the car. It should compliment the paint job nicely

Re: My audi CQ 3B S2 build

Sigh. Hate to see knock in an engine, especially School of Hard Knocks. Hope you graduated...

At any rate, things are looking up and the project is moving along nicely.

I agree, I spent even more time rebuilding the engine this time than last. I knew my way around much more so I could pay ...

Re: My audi CQ 3B S2 build

Omg those seats.

Crazy about the rebuild! Sucks, but you did it right. Fwiw I had my whole engine hot tanked and then I cleaned it afterwards and still a small piece of steel or aluminum got into my turbo and killed the bearings. I haven't yet, buy I SHOULD be running a little filter on the oil ...

Re: My audi CQ 3B S2 build

Like I said its been a while so I keep remembering things that I have done. I was about to put on a new timing belt after the rebuild and noticed a crack in the super torque cog from 034. Less than 1500 miles on this part I used the correct tool for removal and installation and I torqued it to ...

Ok it has been too long since my last post. Long story short I got sand in my intake manifold from sand blasting which got into my ring landings and seized my rings to the pistons. I did a full rebuild with new je pistons and stronger wrist pins. I didn't have the energy to build and post but now ...
