Title: Wanted: 1.6 Diesel Engine
Post by: Lando on September 20, 2012, 10:49:49 am

I need a running 1.6 Diesel Engine with 12mm head bolts.  I would prefer not to pay to ship, willing to drive a few hours.

1.5 not work?

I'm too far to help.

After honing the cylinders, with 76.5mm pistons it was gonna be at .0023" piston clearance which is only .0002" below the wear limits.  The only pistons I can find are 76.48mm so now its gonna be like .0031" piston clearance, which are not worth buying and not worth my time to assemble.  I might be able to make back my money by selling the injector pump and vacuum pump and a few other goods that were left on the block.

The JB weld is still holding up by the way.
