Hey there this is Frank the guy with the DZSL SLC (Corrado TDI) that was great run you had against me where you nailed your dial in. I plan to play with mysetup and see if I can squeeze a few more tenths out of her and get a 14.9
heres my plan for the ultime timing belt fix:ditch the mk1 motor mount/pump bracketand use the ahu bracket with the auto tensioner,and extra tensioner wheel that mounts between the pump+cam gearthen use a "gas engine mk1 engine mount"all i gotta do is press out my HD mount from my diesel bracket+put it in the extra gas engine mount i found layin in a pile of parts funny fact: the gas mount i found has a date code painted on it ,and its on my birthday,but 1983im hopin it brings me more luckim thinkin that the ahu tensioner setup will handle the revs better wether i rebuild my head or not,im not sure,but the tensioner stud threads are easily fixed by a heli-coil if i do use it.....
Take a look at a 1.6TD/1.9TD camshaft while you are at it if yours is stock TDI stuff...it might shock you to see the difference!
