lol. I stated early in the thread that I have gotten this far.
Please don't be fooled by my grammar.
I have worked on cars since I was 8,took my first motor out and rebuilt it at 10. ASE certified by 17 and aviation mechanic by 20 (U.S.M.C). I have also ben a biomedical engineer and a telecommunications engineer. I am 29 and the only thing I have not fix is my grammar. I am taking care of that rite now. so to let you no how far I have gotten. I am down to the water pump housing if this makes it clear to you. I have also replaced the engine in this car. I was not to sure how hard it was because I have never dun this on this particular car. I have the Factory specs and data sheet on this car. Which I don't think Bentley has ( down to the bolt size thanks to my good friend in Germany). Any engineer can figure this out with a spec sheet and data. I may b more advanced then you think. This car is like a little project to me as I have always wanted one. I thank you all for your input. Just wanted to no if it was going to be a pain in the ***** and if their was a better way.

Well lets put it this way .. hans threw a cam seal on the floor and said " hey guys does someone want to build the front end of an Audi around this for me ? "
if you have done all the work you caim you should kno what is involved in a crank and cam seal ... and the Audi is no different .. in fact i would say worse than most other things i have done due to access and the front shear issue with the crank pulley.
But a couple of things worth pointing out ...
My crank seal was bone dry after 350,000 km
My cam seal were not leakking but gave the illusion they were due to leaks above them .. especially the cam chain tensioner seals.
All the best
