RIP The Black Lady

Welp. The MK2 is dead.
Driving along everything is fine, next thing i know im at 3000 rpm and my engine goes kaboom.
Threw a rod directly out of the front of the block... And the back.
Shouldn't take more than a weekend to get a new engine in it?
Is the SB/RA engines more "reliable" or stronger built than the JR engine i had in?

Recently rebuilt head? Keepers all spotlessly cleaned? Or Older head that just got tired of 3000 RPM's?

A healthy 1.6 should do 3K all day long, every day.
How many miles on the odo? When were the IM shaft bearings last changed?
A ready-to-go engine should be an easy weekend swap.

Well it fired out both sides of the bottom of the engine, don't know what the part is called in english but i think it's the conrod bearing which i could see the remains of, from the hole in the engine.
Was running a 1.9 AAZ head.
Found an SB engine with 220k's on the clock. Hope it fires up, been sitting since spring.

Haha yeah. I just hope the replacement engine i got is good.
Cranks just fine, no abnormal resistance in turning over.
The wiring harness is not the same though, as this K14 Turbo has watercooling
Gotta swap that out then :c Does any of you know if theres a difference in the fusebox?

IT LIVES!
The new engine sounds 10x healthier than the old one.
HOWEVER
The fuel lines look like a spa bath. There's more air than fuel in the lines. What do?

I'd run it directly from a clean bottle of fuel. Clear lines in and out of the IP to the bottle. After 5-10 min, if there are bubbles in the return line, the front seal is likely leaking.

We tried a lot of stuff, replaced seals, tried a water bottle, and the bubbles went away!
But.
If we floor it, you can hear it missing on 1 cylinder.
We suspect an injector, but after working a whole weekend on it and doing the "expensive" labor, i'm gonna send it to a shop now

Wouldn't running it the way it is with a good dose of injector cleaning fluid in the tank be your next "expensive" fix?
Shop labor = Highway robbery to those who are do it themselfers.

Well my only local diesel shop fixed it for 100 bucks
Hooked everything up correctly that we missed (glow plugs, cold start, so on...)
Runs great now! However the clutch starts to slip if i floor it at around 110km/h in 5th or 4th
