- Racing on Sunday. WhooHoo!

- "...it runs a little rough at idle..."
I'm thinking cam timing maybe, beside a fuel to air
ratio thing (idle too low). Is it a stock cam?

- Temp Gauges are notoriously vague. They can be
thrown off a bit by corrosion and age. 

Another thing to consider, since you have had the top
off the motor is trapped air in the system.

Perhaps you will forgive me if I ask you to (re)search
it yourself via the search of the Sciroco.Org archives
as well as the same on vwVortex.com. 

Other than that one thing in closing comes to mind;
air to fuel ratio can lead to a hot(ter) running
motor, perhaps you need to get the 'probe up the
tailpipe' type help from a qualified shop to get it
set right. (Har)
