Here's the only picture I have so far of the new crank snout in the new replacement AAZ for "FrankenDiesel". The crank bolt is screwed in but you can see a flat on the round snout behind the bolt.
Do you recognize the crank snout?
Do you know which timing sprocket would fit?
Is it a standard AAZ sprocket or some later model sprocket from a TDI?
I've got the 1.6 sprocket and it obviously won't fit at all.
If you know which sprocket it is and you have one you can part with, I'm interested.
Even from here I can tell that's either an old Rabbit crank bolt or something someone substituted... the official stretch-to-yield bolt is a 12-point.
Looks like I can use my 1.6 TD sprocket so at least that's one part that will transfer over.
Case closed.
Next problem, entire timing cover assy....
Ive got all those custom Suzuki 4x4 brackets for running the delco remy alternator and somebody's power steering pump, all with v belt pulleys.
So serpentine is not in my future currently.
The burning question at the moment is the dual vbelt pulley spacing between plain old pulley vs. the 1.6 TD harmonic balance with dual vbelt pulleys.
Is the pulley spacing the same? I think the 1.6 TD harmonic balance dual vbelt grooves were 86-92.
And does any vendor rebuild 1.6 TD harmonic balancers with new bonding or are they available new?
