• The TDIClub classifieds section is a heavily trafficked section of the forum that encompasses want-to-buy (WTB) and for-sale (FS) threads for the entire world. Due to the demanding nature and fast pace of this section, it is imperative that you know and understand the rules. It is also important to remember that this is the only parts classifieds section.

    Cross-posting and posting classifieds in the regional sections (except the dedicated thread in Ontario) is not permitted.

    Multiple items should be sold in one thread. Make sure to provide a description for all items in your post along with pictures and prices. If you start multiple threads with individual items, they will be locked or combined at the discretion of the moderators.

    Here is a quick outline of the classifieds section rules. If you don't follow these rules, you subject yourself to thread deletion, thread combination, infractions, or posting privilege revocation.

    Thread titles:
    • Put FS or WTB in your thread title. This will let other users know if you are selling or buying.
    • Briefly describe what you are selling. Thread titles have limited space. Be as descriptive, yet succinct, as possible.
    • Put your location in the title.
    • If space allows, put your price in the title

    Title example (single item): "FS: 2004 Mk4/BEW cylinder head - Portland, OR - $500"
    Title example (multiple items): "FS: MK6 fog lights, front bumper, headlights, grill - Detroit, MI"
    Title example (car part-out): "FS: Mk3 Jetta parting out engine & interior - Dallas, TX"

    Thread text descriptions and pictures:
    • All for-sale threads must include pictures of the items that you are selling. One picture is sufficient, but multiple pictures with different angles will help buyers. A picture is worth a thousand words. If you don't know how to post pictures on TDIClub, see this thread: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=286691
    • All for-sale threads must include a description. We don't charge per-word, so be as descriptive as possible. The more information you can provide, the easier it will be for buyers.
    • All for-sale threads must include a price. Auctions and bidding are not allowed. If you want to auction something off, use eBay.
    No picture, no price, NO SALE!

    Thread maintenance/updates/bumps:
    • When you sell something, update your thread with "SOLD!" Moderators will close the thread and update the title.
    • If you have multiple items for sale, update your thread as each item has been sold. When everything has been sold, updated the thread with "ALL ITEMS SOLD!" Moderators will close the thread and update the title when all items have been sold.
    • If you bump your thread, please delete old bumps by clicking on EDIT and then deleting the old bump. This will reduce clutter in your thread and make it easier to read. It also makes you look less desperate.
    • If you drop your price, please update your first post in addition to posting the new price. If you would like the thread title changed, click on the report post icon and let a moderator know what you would like the title changed to.

    Moderator intervention and infraction points:
    Moderators will be monitoring the classifieds section. If a moderator determines that you have not been following the rules listed above, corrections will be made and infraction points will be assessed to your account.

    What is an infraction point? Simple - it's a system of keeping track of user behavior. A moderator can assign a point value based on the severity of the infraction, as well as an expiration date on the points assessed. If you accumulate a certain number of points, the system will auto-ban you for a predefined amount of time. The more points you accumulate, the longer your ban period will be.

    One example of points is as follows: multiple threads will be combined into a single thread, with the number of infraction points assessed corresponding to the number of threads merged. If we merge four threads into one, then you will be assessed four points that expire in 30 days. When you reach five points, the system will auto-ban you for one day.*

    *This is an example based on the current infraction system structure. We reserve the right to modify the infraction system at any time without notice or updates to this announcement.

    Thank you for your cooperation, and good luck with your sales and searches! :)

It is so ironic when we put so much energy into collecting parts, getting all the details straight, just for something to change the plans and then sell it all off. That is exactly what has happened here.
Up for sale is my personal engine that I have been building for almost a year now. Steve Glover (mtbr297) has been overseeing the build and corrdinating with the machine shop on this and has done a great job. I have just been supplying the parts for them to work with.

Here is what it is:
ALH block that has the bores matched to a brand new set of BHW pistons.
New set of PD150 Rosten rods.
I decided to use the BHW crank in the ALH block for the larger bearings.
Ported ALH head. We took a sliced-up head to the porter for him to maximize the port job.
Dual valve springs from Kyle.
TDIMeister cam from Kyle. (the head was CNC clearanced for the cam)
Valves were cut to maximize flow (new guides)

The measurements have been taken for the piston valve reliefs to be cut (that is currently where the pistons are). I have the machine shop ready to lower the CR of the pistons to 17:1. They are setting it up to CNC the bowls on the bottom side of the lip, retaining all of the lip and cone inside of the bowl. If you wanted the bowls to remain stock, act fast and stop me before I give them the green light. This shop is a performance VW and Harley Davidson machine shop that does phenominal work. They produce their own line of performance engines both for aircooled VW's and Harley's.

All that is left is to finish the pistons, have the rotating assembly balanced, then assemble. Steve Glover has agreed to finish the engine build if the new owner desires, we can work out those details.

Along with all this is a 6-speed that RyanP imported for me. Here are the details of the transmission:

DRW 6-speed
Wavetrac LSD
New Axles
New starter
New OEM VW slave cylinder hydraulic line
Clutchmasters dual disc clutch, entire assembly weighs 28 lbs. with flywheel (capable of 650 lb.ft.), same clutch Whitbread is using.
Beefed up clutch forks
Engine: $4950
Transmission: $4700
Everything: $9000

I have more than this invested. If you do your homework, you will realize that this is a very strong setup and reasonably priced.

I was building this for a compound turbo setup, with strength in mind with every component. If you are considering building a performance engine.... here it is.

I will get some pics this weekend at Steves gtg of the engine, head, and pistons. I have the trans at my shop.

Did you ever get the transmission guts cryo treated? Any chance of pricing in the engine/tranny swap labor? You'd have a hard time better describing my long term plans, but I may just have to scrape together $9k to make them short term plans instead.

I did not send the transmission guts off, but I still have it open and could have that done. I am a dealer for Jet-Hot ceramic coatings, and can get competitive pricing on their anti-friction nano coatings if the new owner desired.

I will talk with Steve about the swap labor. I am strictly a performance fabrication shop.

Didn't realize that. Shipping might make more sense then. Does the block have a girdle? Are the lifters from Kyle, too? How soon are you going to tell the machine shop to modify the pistons? I was leaning more toward 17.5:1 or so. Were you originally planning on ceramic coating the pistons, or just installing them as-is? Sorry for all the questions, but I am genuinely interested.

I can ship, or you are welcome to visit Texas.

No girdle. I have drawn up a girdle that is 1 piece billet. It is the bottom plate and incorporated main caps. If you want me to have it machined and installed (includes line boring) we can discuss those details, otherwise I strongly suggest you find a girdle to use. The 1 piece billet girdle is the strongest solution possible if you want it.

Lifters are a new set of the black OEM lifters (PD Lifters). Kyle suggested I use them.

Piston modifications can start whenever. I was going to continue with the machining unless someone shows certain interest and expresses a different desire than I have for them. They can machine the CR down to whatever ratio you desire. The price includes ceramic coating the pistons.

When you are going to spend this much money, there are no such things as too many questions. I understand.

PM me your phone number if you want to get really detailed on the shipping, girdle, etc..
