Title: Question about rods and cranks
Post by: VWRacer on March 09, 2005, 01:18:15 pm

Hey guys,

I was looking at a couple of eBay auctions (first one (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7959691157&ssPageName=MERC_BC_ReBay_Pr4_PcN_)) and second one (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7959691744&category=33623)) for VW rods and got to wondering about their lengths. Are these two sets going to be the same length? I see that the first says it's for the 1.5D, while the other is for the 1.6TD. Just wondering.

Also, IIRC the 1.5D crank is a drop-in into to a 1.6TD block, just with a shorter stroke, right? If so, is it practical to mix-n-match parts to create a 1.5TD?

Thanks! :D

PS - Slow day at work... ;)
