Parts are back from Pryce engines.
After thorough cleaning of all parts I weighed the pistons with pins in, 1/2 a gram from highest to lowest, conrods zero difference according to the paper work the combined balance was within 1.7 grams Used crank gear and brass gear were in good condition. I put them in my toaster oven for 20min at 200 deg C They fell onto the crank and locked on solid (definitely better than trying to bash them on). crank is now together, big end clearance all between 0.050mm and 0.060mm all lubed up with ep assembly grease and oil. waiting on cam bearings before fitting into case.

Part number for those thru-bolts is N0103732 They are water pump/oil pump bolts for Mk1 Golf/Passat/Audi 100, 5+5, 80/90 incl Quattro They are still available. M8x72mm Copper sealing washer 8.2x16mm, part # 021101189. 9ft-Lbs on the nut, they usually weep when folks refit a strainer they've butchered in trying to remove after great gobs of sealer have been previously applied, or fail to seat the plate properly on fitting. They crack the case by overtightening the strainer nut. Simple as that. I've removed many a bent thru- bolt. It's the Aussie way.. 5 ugga dugga's? and who has an inch pound torque wrench or something bigger than that to go down to 9 ftlbs anyway!!
Some progress
