I have a theory that is has to do with the pulses of the alternator and the injection pump but I really don't know. The high compression is probably also a factor.
compression affects how much stress the crank goes thru..
it makes the crank slow down more, then speed up more as well..
seems like the gasser engines werent affected like the diesels tho? pretty safe assumption?

Well the vibration you feel in your car from the engine at idle is caused by the very speeding up and slowing down of the crank that we are taking about here - if it ran at a perfectly constant speed the engine wouldn't vibrate at all unless something was out of balance. And I'm pretty sure we all agree a diesel rattles a whole lot more than a gasser!
I definitely haven't come across many if any reports on the gasser side of crank pulley failure like we see on the serpentine equipped diesels.

The G60s have a record of spinning their crank gear. They have a bit more junk attached to them though.

I've seen it ONCE on an ABA, and I've probably dealt with 100 of them. Could've easily been that the bolt was reused or improperly torqued after a seal replacement or something.
In other news, it's time to start shopping for a complete head for engine #2... excuse the newbie question, but will a head from an alh or any other tdi work with my ahu block? Alh seem to be the most common parts, at least around here.

Final diagnosis:
Lifter started doing this
Then this
This this little bugger
Came out and did this
I feel like I have closure lol. I also feel like I won't find a million little pieces of metal scattered about the oil passages.

It's going to take more than 4.2% to smooth that over.

You can buy 'Shine at the liquor store now'a days, even comes in a Mason Jar..
that stuff does indeed look like the genuine article tho, and not some knock-off you could legally buy :-p

It doesn't taste nearly as good when you pay tax on it. ;-)
