I don't have any input other than I'm freaking jealous! Pauter rods for my motor run like $800. I don't know a whole lot about the I beam rods, but if they're better than the H beams then they are most likely more than enough. I've read a lot of build threads of guys who used the H beam style in their A4's that put down some serious numbers with some ridiculous torque curves without any issues. ( at least not with the rods, haha )

new block is ready, just waiting on the pistons and rods to arrive next week, Wednesday I hope, so ya! I painted the block blue, figured black and blue fit the bill, ordered Wossner pistons from Germany, and am going with the IE rod for the rifle drilling, the Pauters didin't have it done! and I am not looking to rebuild frequently because of less oil to the piston pins, plus better priced! and I can afford some high flow valves too, so here is the first pix of the new build!




peace out!

HELL YEAH! looks good man, i have a set of wossners for my bulletproof motor build too, i went with the 81.5mm for the 1.8 16v block. cant wait for more updates.

new parts starting to arrive, pistons and rods yea! aren't they sexy? just ordered Supertech valves for the head, since I needed two intakes might as well do them all right?

now that is sexy.

match ported and cleaned the intake and exhaust tracks back in 96, now that the valves are out I can finish the port job around the valves, supertech valves are all lapped and ready just waiting and thinking over putting springs and cams in, Hummm........?

here is the head and valve cover all painted and ready to install, except I am now waiting for HD valve springs to arrive, dig the blue!





hear we have ARP bolts on anything that moves
and new rods/pistons too!



more cool parts due this week to post yea!!......

Very nice!

Hellz yeah!!!!
