Well, in further looking CY was ALSO a later hydraulic lifter TD block as well (I happen to have two CY blocks in my garage and one is solid lifter and one is hydraulic, lol). Same deal as the MF. So, it could be either.
You saw this thread right?http://www.vwdiesel.net/forum/index.php?topic=16688.0I also gotta say again, I think it's a bad idea to use a 1.9 head with 1.5L displacement. I predict that you'll end up with a very smokey and hard to start engine that gets poor fuel economy.
Quote from: VW Smokrsaurkraut, that's a bunch of conversion work. Hate to sound stupid, but is your project goal to produce gains in horsepower, torque, fuel economy, lower emissions, or what? (I know; sounds like a newb.)Don't the 1.6L mechanical heads have a water passage right where you put the aluminum pipe plug? Seems like all coolant flow is critical on our VW diesels, but maybe I'm just missing something basic here.(?)Won't you also have to use a 1.9L intake manifold, or modify the 1.6L unit?Interesting work, and nicely done.J.R.The 1.9 head has bigger ports, and bigger swirl chambers which should lower my CR to 19:1 or somthing around there. I have an Excel spread sheet that has CRs for different heads on different motors somewhere, but 19:1 is in the ball park.I don't like hydralic lifters.I should be able to pack more air in each stroke.The lower compression should reduce stress on the rods.Therefore, I should be able to run a more stupid booste level with more fuel and have less chance of busting anything in the engine.I suspect I'll lunch another trany next though.I have been running a K24 at 25 - 30 PSI with some smoke. Crapped a piece of a turbine blade out the tail pipe once. I have a k-26 that I plan on grafting its kompressor on to the k24 and get even more air in there.Yes, I have the 1.9 intake manifold too.After I finish this monkey business, its back to the 1.5TD program.I'm just a shareing kind of person....

I would really rather have a turbo 1.6 block "for strength and the 12mm holes" and already setup for hydro lifters, I'll sell this one then or trade. The easier the better here. DMAN, and I drove all the way up to Sacremento to get this thing too. Really good block, has cross hatching still visible and stock bores. I'll clean it all up before I sell/trade it how much would you say it's worth? I want to make sure that I get the right one next time "hydro with the bump in between 1&2" got it...... learning........ exspensive............ now I know why people pay sooo much for college.Thanks again,Kevin
If anyone can swap out the rotating assembly (from running to running again) in two hours they would be my personal hero. I would think that if someone was working hard, knew every bolt, had all the right tools and was sticking to it nose to the grindstone, it would be more along the lines of 8+ hours of labor at minimum.
How do the big rigs do it?
