Thanks for these videos.. I'm in the UK and have a mk1 Cabriolet (1992) with the 1.8 8v 2H digifant engine and I'm looking to rebuild it over the coming winter with a few performance mods (cam, high comp pistons maybe) and I'm getting so much from your channel - including picking up tips from the comments section. I realise making these videos and editing them etc is a real pain in the ass but trust me my friend, they're much appreciated.. Regards from over the pond, Pete.

Take a couple of old head bolts and cut the heads off then put a slot in the top and you can use them as guide pins or get a set of ARP head studs

@Lee Childers There are two short cylindrical pin like pipes that connect the oil drainage canals on the backside of the head. Their primary use is to create a tight seal and help align the head gasket and the head itself on the block.

Yes, I was wondering where the alignment dowels went to. Usually they get pulled out when the head and or block gets milled but reinstalled before the head gasket goes on. I would definitely not try to run without them and wouldn't rely on the head bolts to position the head and gasket properly.

The engine was given to me disassembled. No idea where they are. This is a fairly low compression, gas engine. If this was a blown engine running nitromethane, I would be more concerned. The engine has 7 hours of track time on it now, no issues.

Awesome video! I thought I read somewhere that when stretching head bolts, it was bad to lubricate the bolts?✌

You should use whatever the manual says. The slicker the lube, the less friction between the threads and the more bolt stretch per given torque. The manufacturer figures that into their torque specs. Thus, if it says 30W oil, I use that. ARP will ship their preferred lube with whatever fastener kit you buy for the same reason. Make sense?

Nothing wrong with applying a small amount of oil on the threads/ under the head/ washers of the head bolts, I always do it when not using ARP's which come with their own lube. You can however put too much on the thread area which can 'hydrolock' the bolt holes in your block. This is bad as it can give you false torque readings and worse, can actually split the block when the liquid has no where left to go. A little on the threads and under the hex area is all you need.

Had the transmission been connected, would you have gone by the flywheel mark to get TDC for piston Number 1?
@eventhorizonlemonscar6139

Yes, I would first confirm the TDC mark was correct and then go off of that mark. I did this in the car.

With enough time, money, and skill, any engine can be made to fit within any car. I have no idea how easy or hard this swap will be for your application.

A little oil on the bolt threads is ok. Check the Bentley manual. If too much oil pools in the bottom of the thread hole, tightening the bolt could (small chance) cause a hydraulic lock and crack the head. Better to use very little oil.....not a dip into the bottle and then right in to the bolt hole. Good Luck.
