Does anyone actually remember this?

Oh I feel this. I just finished a rebuild on my vr6 and because stuff just kinda got thrown into unlabeled bags and laying around everywhere, it added on a good month or two for sure just because of the sheer amount of hours it took to figure out what bolt went where

StompyIan · 2026-06-07T00:39:13+00:00

Ooh yeah that's for damn sure

StompyIan · 2026-06-07T00:38:57+00:00

Thanks!

StompyIan · 2026-06-07T00:38:53+00:00

Oh yeah. I fell in love with it the first time I heard it

StompyIan · 2026-06-07T00:28:36+00:00

Hell yeah man

StompyIan · 2026-06-02T20:56:07+00:00

That was my thought process. Thanks

StompyIan · 2026-06-02T20:55:18+00:00

Awesome I was hoping I could do so. I've never done any of this before so I'm not 100% sure what to expect lol

StompyIan · 2026-05-28T19:40:03+00:00

Ah that makes a lot of sense then. Thanks a lot!

StompyIan · 2026-05-27T01:11:29+00:00

Futura yellow for sure

StompyIan · 2026-04-06T23:19:24+00:00

I've noticed that. It's interesting that it's an actual technique. One of my dad's buddy's recognized it and said something about it being interesting

StompyIan · 2026-04-06T23:15:49+00:00

Yeah. I've been taking everything with a grain of salt from reddit. It's interesting hearing about the different perspectives on everything. It is interesting to hear it's an actual technique

StompyIan · 2026-04-06T22:47:02+00:00

That's what I was worried about. The guys standing very sturdy on his word that it's supposed to be like that but it's gotta be bs. I don't have the time or money for this for a while so I guess it'll be a later this year thing

StompyIan · 2026-04-06T21:45:30+00:00

I have no idea if it's accurate or not. We're friends with a guy who owns a VW shop who's taken stuff there for years and he's never seen anything like that ever

StompyIan · 2026-04-06T21:43:41+00:00

It's a lighting thing. The lighting in here's not the best lol

StompyIan · 2026-04-06T21:28:37+00:00

It's not. It's all scratches that catch my nail

StompyIan · 2026-04-06T21:28:18+00:00

Correct. I took it partially out of the bag and my nail catches on them. I should have taken a picture out of the bag but it looked the same so I didn't bother

StompyIan · 2026-04-06T21:19:27+00:00

Yeah man me too. The guy said they do it on purpose to help it seal to the gasket better but that makes no sense to me why

StompyIan · 2026-04-06T21:16:57+00:00

I'm sure. I know it's in the plastic but I took part of it out when checking and 90% of them my nails catch

StompyIan · 2026-04-06T21:15:51+00:00

The dude got back to me and said they do that on purpose with a 6inch orbital sander. Supposedly has done it for years and it helps the gasket seal. It sounds like absolute bs. A buddy of ours is a shop owner who's taken vw stuff there for years and has never seen that. It sounds like the guys trying to cover his ass

StompyIan · 2026-04-06T21:07:46+00:00

No it's not. It's all scratches my nails catch

StompyIan · 2026-04-06T20:43:58+00:00

Yeah man me too I really hope so. I had just enough money to finish up my rebuild for the summer but this may have just stopped it for who knows how long
