Rebuilding a 1.8t
Hey all having fun rebuilding a 1.8T and doing some fun coating. In my engine builds I have found the rustolem X2 spray paint works surprisingly well on engine parts and deals very good with heat.
going for around 250 to 300hp in this engine ones done. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

1.8t update
1.8t is coming along nicely. Ran into one issue, the timing chain tensioner is messed up. so the cams are locking. I have one on order. Other then that. engine is turning out great!

More progress on my 1.8t rebuild
This has been a lot of fun and will look great going back into our Passat. I will be running a full external oil cooler set up as well.
