GTI Engine Rebuild

Well, I have the opportunity to see how the engine is assembled given that one of the guys is having it rebuilt. I am there as a documentor of the event. Today is the last mile after stripping the whole engine bay apart, cleaning, degreasing, scraping, grinding, lubricating and the likes...

The pics are of Day 2 and the guys are willing to share and explain which is awesome.

Today is the last mile...Hope to see more of this......It's very educating.
