I am starting a 1.6TD build version 2, hoping for more than 40,000 miles :D

Jegs sells it.  It's about $20.

Or direct from total seal. Get that oil they have too, they say lube the ring lands with it. But like 1 drop is enough for a piston.  Have fun gettin your hand in the bore to clean it too haha.
Yea th stuff looks like pencil lead shavings but when the bore is totally spotless itll have a greenish tinge to it
It was a total non issue seating the rings.

Shoot i got some quick seat u cant find a source ill send u mine. Theres probably enough in there to do 5 or 6 engines.

[theman53]

send away kinghillfolk'r. I need me some powder. I will text the address to you.

[theman53]

BTW if you ever saw my hands you know that getting an entire hand in the bore is completely out of the question. I would love  to get 4 fingers deep into the bore, but usually 2 is all that is happening.

[hillfolk'r]

Im no that big but i still had an issue. I ended up using a cloth taped to a stick to put it on

Funny,
both of you chose avatars that are the exact opposite of what you really look like.

Justin B could easily get his hand into a 1.6 barrel

where do you buy it? I would be down for some as long as it isn't expensive. I didn't get to finish it with the bounce house all weekend and CRSMP5 coming down and the MKIV timing belt deal. Can't wait until I get it done.

Glad to hear you finally got that damn timing belt done.  Hope the intake helped a lot; you block off the EGR tube also?

An as far as that TS quick-seat, is in only for their rings, or for any rings in general like the OE KSs?  If it's a general applicant, then that just might get me together in time for Madness after all.  Just thinking about all the interstate between me and PA, and what it would do to a new ring break-in procedure having to sit at constant revs, does deter me.

from what I gather it is for all rings. It is a lube that aids in ring seat. I am also using Brad Penn 10w-30 which has the highest concentration of Zinc in it of any off the shelf oil. That helps in breakin and on engines with pushrods, so for my break in it will work just fine.

[CrazyAndy]

Oh crap, I forgot about Brad Penn!  Gotta get me some also; that stuff is what Jake Raby recommends for all his type 4 air-cooled engines due to it's high ZDDP content and resistance to high temps, a great plus for an air-cooled dependent on old-style dino oil.  I guess I'll be making a big Summit order soon; thanks for rattling that stuff off!

[theman53]

This is all you get. I am more interested in getting it handled than taking pics this time. I will try though.













Need to figure out something to do with the oil cooler, but then I will test for leaks in the oil system. After no leaks are found I will take the turbo back off and fix the new intercooler in, then the new 2 row aluminum rad. Then sometime before too long put it in and run it.

Looking reeel good.
When do we get to see your sausage stuffer intake?

Yea quick seat is for any rings. As long as they are new.
Dude. If your rings dont seat in the first 5 minutes of runtime , start over they are never gonna seat.

haha did you use old head bolts to put the block on the stand???  i did the same thing
