Guest, 🎅🎄Looking for a stocking filler idea? Why not treat yourself or a loved one to our high quality CUPRA or SEAT valve caps. Order now from the merchandise store
I know there bout £300 inc vat. I'm not totally happy with what this guy is doing tbh as he is just replacing the two nylon end caps.
However iirc corectly the whole tensioner split in half as the piston came out, so he going to put it back together
I'm going up to do a spot check on him today and see this tensioner he is fitting!
some good work going on there fella.
when you get a chance can you put a micrometer across some of the rods and pins so we can once and for all have the definative measurements for the Cupra R engine.

You can tell instantly that there 20mm pin just by looking at the rod

Why? Does it say 20mm on it?
You've got better eyes than me (Mr Terminator
If you could measure them, we'd be grateful...
Cause I have super human powers
You can tell instantly the difference by looking at the small end on the std rod it is not tapered!
I'll measure them with a mic just to keep you guys happy.
How come you don't have 20mm pins what you trying to do?
Did they not come with pistons?
I'm running standard pistons and Scat rods, so no pins. I wont be goin for massive power on mine, about 330ish max and my pistons are ok so i didnt change them.
The standard pins have worn in the centres. I've ordered what i think looks right off ETOS now, 4 bushes/pins and 8 circlipss. Hopefully they;ll be the right ones now.
Have you measured them? Cause the small end should not wear that much cause it only rotates bout 45 degrees. It should be slightly shiny in the midle.
Why would you change the bushes? Cause the bushes should be already in the scat rod.

Here is an update with the rods installed, pistons cleaned, mating surcace cleaned, holes tapped.
And a shot of the 20mm pins you wanted to see.
Just waiting for the cylinder head which I pick up later today!

Noooooo. Don't put that, Steve - in X years when the picture's dead, everyone will still think they're 19mm, when that picture clearly shows them as 20mm
Just to be clear Yumann - yours is an AMK isn't it?
Feel you are no fun at all

That's "You're".
Just updated my "210/225 Differences" sticky and I'm reminded that someone posted the part numbers for the pistons and conrods being the same on the AMK and BAM, so that now suggested that they DO all have 20mm pins. Confused.
Anyway, we're cluttering up Yumann's thread.
Picking up the head today? Busy weekend then

Have you got your head back? is everything on programme at the moment?
Ah 19mm that clarifies everything
I am slightly behind schedule, maybe by about a week, but I am very happy with the progress I have made.
