This video series is fantastic! Finally something on building the FSI. If my '06 wasn't still holding 180psi of compression after 157K miles, I would seriously be thinking of summer project! Too much regular maintenance means too little excuse for a rebuild I guess...
I was wondering if you could answer something. So I'm thinking of doing that iabed balance shaft delete (or even if not) but I noticed when I replace my piston rings (all being done while the engine is in the car) that the oil pump chain seemed like it has been through some pretty burnt oil and it dark and looks like it could snap before long. Only way to get that chain out though is removing that flange behind the crank sprocket, but I don't have any impact tools. What would be a good way to remove and replace that sprocket and bolt (probably an arp one) while also getting behind that flange to swap the chain, without power tools? Even if I had power tools, I dont have a good enough air compressor I don't think
Can I just say, you timed the cams up and slotted them in.. but you can't actually put the cam chain tensioner on with the chain already installed. So did you remove the vvt cog once the bridge was installed to fit the tensioner and then re time the cams ?
I just get a new billet valve cover, but I can´t figure out what to do with the line from the 3 way EVAP valve connected in front of the OEM valve cover and where I have to connect the little line from turbo to rear of the OEM valve cover plug, somebody have a idea? that little line from the turbo looks like a vaccum reference!
How did you know that all of the timing equipment lined up from those marks? What was your reference for placing the cams and crank into the engine? I saw what you described with the marks on the timing chain covers, but don't understand how those are calibrated to be in time with where the crank and cams are located within the engine. Great video Paul! I'm really excited to see the finished project.
Trevor Austin Since Max and I knew we wouldn't likely have the VW tool for reassembly we marked the chain and gears before we took the engine apart. Before the head was installed the crank pulley and lower timing cover was put in place to put the engine on TDC#1. Knowing how a camshaft works it is easy to tell the approximate correct timing, close enough that you can safely install the cams and then fine adjust based on the OE timing marks. Once the cams were bolted down we then installed the stock cam belt pulley and timing covers to get it correctly lined up, then took all that apart to remove the ugly covers and install the IE cam pulley.
Thanks for the reply, that helped a lot. Would it be possible to put together a video explaining how you would do this with all new components? Such as an aftermarket cam or crank. Thanks for all you do for the Vag community.
Trevor Austin the only way to do this on a clean install on an FSI 2.0t that I'm aware of would be buying/renting the VW camshaft alignment tool. You can set the exhaust cam timing using the pulley, but without some expertise it would be difficult to get the intake cam set correctly. I wouldn't recommend any attempt at that because a small error here could easily end up with a whole bunch of bent valves.
PS, the crank will always have the keyway that ensures the crank pulley can only ever be installed in one position and it's OE timing marks on the cover are usable. This applies to all cranks that are made for the engine, new and used.
@@BlackForestRacing so if my timing belt snapped while driving can I use the cam pulley an OE Mark along with crank OE Mark and install new belt ? Or do I have to buy tool to time exhaust cam ?
what tool did you use for tightening studs? last time tha i rebuilt an engine i had an head gasket failure because one stud wasn't tight right. i use two nuts on the top thread, but i know that exist a special socket for this work. nice work! i love engine rebuilt series
Hey. I'm having a problem with my mk5 gti with the fsi engine. It keeps on breaking the cam chain adjuster. And the everytime it does I replace the cam chain tensioner. But I don't know what's going on. Then is the third time including when I got car cause it had broke and had bent the valves. Do u have any advice that can help me on my quest to make my mk5 gti reliable again, cause it really does suck. Thanks.🙏🙏

Videos like these keep my build going. Great info, thanks for the good quality videos.
Thanks for watching
I love the example at the end of the off camera productivity while Cody is actually assembling stuff LOL!
Someone has to do the work ; )
Love the music. "EYY!"
That is one neat torque wrench
Looks like it will be a sweet motor :)
That manifold though!
Awesome video thanks guys.
looks awesome!
What you think something like this would cast with parts and everything thanx btw looks bad ass
Do you have a video like this for the TSI engine? I would like to see how the camshafts are placed before installing the cover. Thanks!

Any tips for where to source the shims under the hydraulic lash adjusters? I like the idea and mine is apart right now!

nah he would have pulled it all to bits again after realising :) I've done it twice DOH!
Awesome!!!1!
Was the stock cylinder head used for this build?
why the different assembly lube? the last video it was red, this one is blue ... is there a difference between the 2 of them?
It sucks they dont make that valve cover for the gen 2....
3:42 NICE.. scratching the head surface with the bolts..
The block is still with stock slave cilinders?? If is how much hp will hold up?
How do you know if the two camshafts are correctly positioned with the small chain? (If you didn't mark during the disassembly) thanks
Is it me or did you forget to put the cam oil seal back on ?

Question..
so the cam followers, rockets rollers and cams are stock ?

Are you using stock cams?

nice work! i love engine rebuilt series
These ARP Studs have an allen drive on them.
someone lied to you, even if they are loose you torque sufficiently that they stretch and this pre-load stops them backing out / loosening.

check something else as I think breaking the adjuster is a result, not a cause but interested
what size shims are you using for the lifters?
What kind of cams
Wat to build my blown mk6 anyone have good resources on where to start?
Where can I purchase that tubular manifold?
anyone have an extra BPY engine? can't really build my daily...
Hey guys, what happens if you forget to number the lifters when you remove them?
nothing they are not really a part that matters as hydraulic lifters, if they were solid with shims then problem as each one is shimmed for clearance
Using timing belt..? instead of timing chain..?
Maybe becus that engine is designed to work with a timing belt
I like cody
so sweeeeeeeeeeeet
how much does this cost for a mk5 gti engine?
Is Not 80 ft pound it break a stud
