Help identifying a 1.6D motor

[Hiho]

It has oil squirters only after I had them installed.



Im more concerned about my rod bolts being NA when I've rebuilt it with lots of turbo bits

ROR I was wondering what info lead you to conclude that the cause of Eddy's trouble was from the int shaft seizing?  From what I've read the whole thing is inconclusive.  What came first the chicken or the egg?  I'm not trying to say that rod bolt failure was or wasn't the cause, I just haven't seen any definitive evidence as to what came first.

i swear that he said he lost oil pressure right before all hell broke loose. that would lead me to believe either the IM shaft seized, or the oil pump drive tang let loose. and losing oil pressure first makes me think something else caused his oil pressure to drop, then one of his rod bearings to spin, causing the bolts to break. it doesnt really matter either way, his engine has a double-fist size hole in the front, and no amount of debate will fix it

Rods and rod bolts are same in NA and TD.

Cheers MJF!

On the rod bolt failure, what i have gleaned from Smokin Eddys post is that the rod bolt failed when the piston was ascending (no damage to piston skirt from crank counterweights, valve imprints on piston crown). The rod was most likely in tension on the exhaust stroke (when tension failures are most likely). The oil starvation may have caused a bearing failure resulting in an excess loading on one side of the rod cap, transferred to one of the bolts causing it to fail.

...with my thinking cap on.   

Is that the same Cap from the picture posted over in the General section thread ? thatsa groovy lid man. I definitely want one if it comes with matching slippers and mittens.

Hiho, if the date coding of late 1983 is correct, then it should be a 12mm headbolt 1.6 block.

With basically utilizing the same touches that you've put into your rebuild, I am seriously thinking about the ARP rod bolts/nuts and then re-balancing, especially since I haven't coated the pistons yet (been waiting until I get the 'right' head & porting/polishing finished). Will have to do some investigation on the IM shaft fittment to the new bearings, as well as possibly having it turned down, also. May save that detail for the folks at RIMCO.

Cheers.
