Looking for a 1.6L TD short block or long block in the Pacific NW. OR specifically. Don't need any of the accessories just a known good long or short block.
Anybody know of anything?
Thanks.

he always seems to have a half dozen laying around..
if he doesnt, i can look around for you?
Just in case you don't want/find a TD. I've got a good runner 1.6 I am taking out of my car.

This is to replace a Vanagon JX short block. Pretty sure the JX has oil squirters hence the search for a TD. I'll keep yours in mind though. Thanks.

the JX TD engine?
the N/A vanagon engines DID NOT have oil squirters..
i have a vanagon n/a engine in my car, no squirters..

The JX wasn't available here in NA. It was turbo charged.

Vanagons were never offered in north america with a TD tho?!
the CS engine is what i have in my car, not the JX.. mines out of an 83.

Yes, I realize the JX was never offered here. The person who I'm helping look for an engine has one imported from EU. Apparently it's ingested water is seized, rather than rebuilding he's looking at sourcing a shortblock.
MF or something like that is going to be the best bet then..
gonna have to use a TD short block of some sort..
gonna be damn near impossible to find a JX in north america tho...

are you pulling my leg or something?

The person who I'm helping HAS a JX that needs to be rebuilt. He's looking for a more economical solution- read that a TD short block. His cylinder head from the JX is fine. Purchase a good short block and then bolt all the goodies from HIS JX and he's good to go.
