GOLF R Engine rebuild PART 1: When you think it should be straight forward! 

Whistle and bells!! Thought is was bells and whistles 😂

More of the detailed engine builds please!!

Nice to see parts arriving for the E30!!, those calipers look like they would stop about anything.

Do not forget to these discs are handed,

Issac got it spot on they're called DISC'S, Lee, not ROTOR'S, FFS.

E30 parts...looks like Christmas has come early....they look super quality...👍👍

All the money spent on the E30 parts is money well spent, look at all the enjoyment even opening the boxes never mind building the E30 and all the fun all you guys will have. Fun, team building and a great car at the end of the day whats not to like.

"Sputter bearings". Thanks, I knew absolutely nothing about them before. It is nice to learn something new, especially if it's about something I thought I already knew pretty much everything relevant to do with bearings. BTW Lee, I noticed some flaring again, especially in the early part of the video where you're facing the camera up at yourself and catching your fleuro lights there. That suggests either a smudged lens or possibly some fogging. I know your climate would be damper than where I am but, I have had issues with that before, even lost a camera when the factory installed smoke escaped it when I took it out of the boot of my car on a cold morning and turned it on. I can only assume that being cold the condensation somehow shorted something out inside and that was the end of a rather expensive Minolta SLR film camera. Same cause as a lot of lens fogging too, cold camera brought out into warmer humid conditions. I'm a lot more careful now to make sure things like camera gear, in those sort of conditions is either kept somewhat warmer or, very gently warmed up to a temp slightly ABOVE ambient for a while before pulling it out, that way you also get no fogging. Just be very cautious that you don't overheat things. You can easily and cheaply buy simple little USB powered mesh heat pads that only run at a few Watts that could be put in a bag under or against the camera or a multitude of other means. Baby bottle warming wrap type things often incorporate a thermostat too so, they can be a bit safer maybe once re-engineered to suit your purpose. If it's not a fogging issue, CLEAN THAT LENS PROPERLY!!

"look at the vents, very cool" you just couldn't write it 😂😂😂

Lee, what about the valve relief fly cuts, the valves will be moved down by what ever you took off the block, right?

Loving the E30 build, look forward to every video :)

I’ve used Compbrake on some Subaru’s, always worked ok for me 👍

5 drinks today from the E30 game. Big start to the week.

Lee, I have Hawk brake pads on my Mustang and they are great. I have abused them severely and they have never let me down.

All very impressive. And never seen hubless discs before.

Depends on what compound hawk pads you have will either sqeek bad and or tear up your rotors. Black compound extremely hard on the rotors blues are hard on them and tend to heat cracks and are noisy. Dtc 30 dtc 60 are easy on the rotors but dust all above are race only. The hawk street pads suck don't use them. Run carbotech xr8 xr10 pads. You will thank me later

Surprised you never heard of Hawk pads, they have been around for ever for performance use. We use them in a Formula Ford and have been excellent. You can get different compounds.

We had Hawk pads in a track day Alfetta and they were fine. We then put some in a dirt rally Alfetta and they were diabolical. Compared the 2 sets of pads and they looked totally different. Chucked a set of Standard pads in the dirt car and all problems were solved so beware

Rather than taking 0.022” off the pistons, could you not just take the 0.007” off to get them flush and then use a 0.040” head gasket?

Clean the dust off that telecom box behind your desk … my OCD is off the charts …

I think you have Airbus A330 brakes.

Big! Interesting.

Oh man, I have done similar paranoid mistakes, is 2am and Alf of a sudden the thoughts start popping.... Did I do this? Was it torque? Was it in the correct key in the chain...? I have gone to the garage and opened an engine in the middle of the night cause it does not let me sleep... 😅

Hi Lee, how come you don't use assembly lude on the rebuilds?

Everything I've ever bought from compbrake has been utter shite hope you have better luck than I have

When you take that 0.022 inch off the crown, what do you do to the valve pockets? Do you cut them deeper too, or are they generally deep enough to give the clearance needed?

Personally guys I like the E30 content

Do you use any assembly lube on this engine. I didnt see you use any?

Hope you don’t like your wheels with ceramic pads. As they will be covered in metal filings that burn themselves into the paint and then rust.

Not heard of “ graphite paste “ on studs before. Are you cutting the center of the piston as well as the top edges? Asking for a friend..

Rotors not discs.

the discs have angled airways to help on cooling so they are left and right handed so don't get them mixed up as brakes will over heat and cause damage.

So who delivered ya brakes then??!! ;-)

Hey regarding the Golf R engine assembly i notice your conrod bearings you put in don't have the oil hole in the centre of either bearing shell , question is how does it get lubricantion or is this a mistake you have made getting confused using a scatter bearing which i assume is from another new set bearings as a combination.

No volume ?

Is there a lip read option 😂

Did you forget the audio, young man?

👍

what about arrow rods?

Changed the batteries in my hearing aids. Didn't work.😂

With such a small car and such large duscs, will u even get them in the temp operating window?

E30 buy

A bit of a tangent but GT7 have openned up the engine swaps propper now. Be something to frig about with. Since you're talking golf how would you all fix this 😁 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8GkX7ait1CQ.html

Don't want to be a hater but Compbrake??? Utter rubbish product, awful service and Hawk pads scream like a boy band.

It's Christmas all over again. Ho! Ho! Ho!, and I ain't talk'n bout your neighbors wife! Love those black calipers. Sweet!!! Guys, if building this kit car makes your clock tick, then screw the comments and do your thing. Work hard, play even harder!! I can't wait to see and hear, the finished product. BTW, who drives the cars when you are on the track?
