That bearing, the 6202 ended up being a standard bearing used for electric motors. Tell the guy behind the counter you want a 6202 with a 15 mm center.
I've been driving my '91 Golf, turbo diesel for about 2 weeks now and it's breaking in great.
I'm putting together a 2.5" stainless downpipe.
I'll probably make my own flange out of 3/8" mild steel.
This is an MD block, I haven't seen any referance to it other than someone on here recently stating that they were put in pre '84 Rabbits.
If this is true ... and if I ever get to the point of competing, I can compete in the same class as fsp GTD? I was thinking I'd have to have a CY block to be stock.
Does anyone know an inexpensive place to buy gaskets for between the turbo and downpipe? A part # would help my shopping.
Hey now, thinking Autocross huh?

I just did a look-up in ETKA on the "MD" engine code, and it looks like it came from a quantum, probably of model year '83-'84. Indeed, it's a 1.6lTD motor, same hp rating as the CY and MF engines.
Your car would go into F Street Prepared on the following line:
*Golf & Jetta (8V, '85-'93)(A-2 chassis)
...which means that you can legally update/backdate parts from any of those cars, including complete engine assemblies. For example a 1.6lTD "MF" from an '85-'85 Jetta, could be legally swapped onto your '91 Golf. Unfortuntely, the quantum is not listed on that line so technically, the "MD" engine is not a permitted swap. Although I'll bet the "MF" block (found on '85-'86 Jettas) is just about the same! The "MF" and "MD" were even available starting and ending on the same months (both listed as 8/84 - 7/85.)

I'd be surprised if there weren't some way you could squeak the "MD" on there, given they are mechanically identical, I think. I guess technically, there would be a legality hurdle there but I wouldn't let that dissuade you from using it! I think it's in the "spirit" of the rules since both are the same, and, well could you just change the stamping so the "D" looks like an "F" maybe?

My Rabbit is on a different line by the way:
*Rabbit & Jetta (8V, '75-'94)(A-1 chassis)
...which means the only legal 1.6lTD I can use is the "CY" (from '83-'84 Rabbits and Jettas.) Notice the legal 1.6lTD engine is different for A1s vs A2s!
Street Prepared class is pretty restrictive though... no interior gutting (besides legal update/backdating) permitted... no lexan windows, and besides blueprinting... stock boost pressure, stock turbo, stock engine internals. Suspension is fairly open but can't relocate attachment points. The SCCA rule book is on-line here:

http://mouton.best.vwh.net/sccasolo/Rules/sp.htmlThe turbine outlet gasket is available as a VW part: 893 253 115 Price range to expect at a dealer looks to be in the $15 area. I've always re-used them. They are embossed stainless steel I think.
