1.6 n/a "mini-build"

[84tdrabbit]

See if your crank bolt takes a 17mm socket or 19mm socket.

See whether its cast with 16D or 1.6D on front/back of block.

That should have been 14mm or 17mm crank bolt - oops.

16D casting is "usually" definitely an 11mm.
1.6D "....." 12mm.

If its a 17mm crankbolt its 12mm.
If its 14mm - it could be either 11 or 12.

The part number on the head can sometimes be a clue, as well as the block code. Some code(s) were used on 11 and 12.

It can get screwy, sometimes just have to pull a headbolt.

ive never seen a 14mm crank bolt. or are you measuring the shank?

If it has regular 6-sided head bolts, its 11mm. If it has triple square its either a 12mm or someone has replaced the head and used gasser stretch bolts.  If it has been represented as running OK, I would leave it alone.

I rebuilt my 11mm engine (engine code CR) back in 1997 almost before the internet was invented (by Al Gore) and CAREFULLY used (or reused, I forget) hex head bolts.  That was 200K miles ago with no issues, and I'm not going to pull the head apart to "fix" it.  If I were to rebuild it today (being extremely cheap) I would be tempted to do it the same way rather than spend $100 for studs.

Thank you for your patience, y'all.
The information on this site is thick! it's hard for me to slog through many of the posts with my limitied knowledge, but this is definitely helping me understand a lot more.

trying to understand the intermediate shaft bearing is giving me a bit of a problem, however.
i've read the diy, and i've seen the tools, and i'm sure i'll understand it a little better when i look at the motor physically, but boy does it seem over my head right now.

the tools are just basic presses, correct?
just pressing one out, and then pressing one in?
is the pulley that's cracked in the photos the intermediate shaft pulley?
anyone have a non cracked one?
