Just a final addendum to this
The offside engine mount needs to changed for the GTI one (it’s about 15mm taller) the standard mount allows the block to tap the subframe in some power on/off situations.

Re: ARC/AVY bottom end with AHW head
Wanted to feedback on this. 1.6 AVY bottom end fitted to AHW top end and running beautifully.

I've spent quite a while looking at pictures of head gaskets and they look near enough identical, however the gasket...

ARC/AVY bottom end with AHW head
