Ive had good luck with Felpro in the past but I did notice about the valve cover gasket is a bit off. With the kit I got off ebay everything fits great, even the valve cover gasket. It fit so good I tossed the Felpro one that I had on my sedan.
BTW my 91 EX wagon has the cooler and its an A6 but its an auto.

People run lose piston clearances alot nothing crazy outta spec though mostly on true builds, but i'd think you would have been fine with those clearances.
As far as felpro i've never once had an issue with their gaskets. Plus their HG is a 3 layer as to where the ebay HG is a 5 layer which i doubt many worry about anyway. Hope ya get her back on the road soon.

IIRC i running a little loser than OEM on my build, but mine's a bit more involved than just a rebuild. What you going to do with that spare crank? Did you check the clearances on the rod and main bearings on your new engine? it can't hurt.

IT'S IN!!! She's not running yet, but she's back in her home, thanks to Ghetto_CB7, who showed up 20 minutes before it got dark.... I have a few things to finish before I can fire her up, I have to install the IM and add some coolant. I still need to install my steering rack bellows, and install the Lude calipers. The calipers had to come off so I could roll the car around, since I have 14's.....
But I got these! Thanks dvswoo!
I put the oil in last night to test for any leaks, none were present. More pics and updates to come tomorrow, and hopefully, just maybe, she will be back on the road tomorrow.Last edited by dj_ender; 02-07-2012, 02:44 AM.Originally posted by Mishakol129Do not disrespect my intelligence.

And she's alive!!!! Started right up, but before that i had a bad leak to deal with. Where the t stat housing meets the hard water pipe from the block, there's an O ring and it had torn. But i still can't get it to line up right, right now it's not bolted to the IM.
And an oil leak began to happen, but not until i put the royal people in... It's leaking from the rear balance shaft area, must have forgot a bolt, or something with the seal. I will deal with that this weekend, it only leaks while running. Tomorrow I have to bleed the brakes and clutch, and reset the TPS, then it's v v v v v r r r r r o o o m m m m time!
Videos and updates to follow.Originally posted by Mishakol129Do not disrespect my intelligence. I am the smartest person I know : )
