Well I started taking the front end off my vr6 to do the upper and lower timing chain... And wow taking the whole front end off is the way to go! So much room , any suggestions as to what I should change whole the motor is out? And anyone know the best place to get a timing kit is? All the parts stores can only get every part separate !?

I already have the trans out.. Took a few pics but there's a very straight forward DIY on vwvortex ...http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?2703042-DIY-MKIV-VR6-Transmission-Removal-Clutch-Replacement for the trans and .. forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?1264409 for the timing chain.

I'm replacing the rear main seal as stated and the thermostat cuz that looks like a PITA with the trans in!
