[s-cars] Valve Job Anyone?

[Peter Schulz]

Guys:

I'm in the similar situation with the UK S2 3b that I imported for my Coupe Quattro.

The engine has 200 kmiles on it, so some refreshing is definitely in order.

Given that I would be perfectly ecstatic to have dependable RS2 power ( this is going to be a "occasional driver" used at driver training events at tracks, I need to set a realistic budget.)

Which means I'm not going to drop an extra $1k for forged rods at this time....
If power gets that addictive, I'll have to chuck the distributor and go to solid state ignition anyway...

wish list is valve job ( and what should I have done beside the valves and stem seals/seats)?
S6 Head gasket
Main and Rod Bearings
AAN style oil pan baffle
oil pump
all seals
RS2 EM 
have the internals balanced , etc

Should I replace the head studs with ARP or is this overkill at the low 300s?

Other than the RS2 EM, is it possible to do this for $2500????

-Peter
