i think one is ribbed and one isint, unfortuntly my dealers are as useful as a one legged man in an ass kicking contest
 
Sounds about right! Not 100% but i think it was a ribbed one, it was a few years ago now though.
 
I ordered the wrong one, and i was a Seat parts manager for years :lol::whistle:

Martin's engine code was the early type ABF and well before the change date but it used the later style gasket, just meant striping it twice
 
It was handy you being a parts manager!

All fun though. Any ideas when you'll have it up and running yet?
 
well i started off with just a standard rebuild but left it down to a friend to do (extra in lunch hours) so what he does is down to him.. a bit of polishing for sure
 
oh and an update, went around to find out about my engine, piston rings came today but wainting on some conrods, unlikey be ready tomorrow but as long as its all built to go for monday 30th i dont care a monkeys
 
is it? lol..oh well pleanty of time then! haha...that means ive cocked up my denist appoinment too! lol..thats all the excitement!
