cyl 1 looks damaged you're right.After experiencing the difference between the 1.9 head on my 1.6 and the 1.6head that it used to have on it...i dream of a 16v diesel. Why isn't there one? I almost want to engineer my own. Am i just retarded? why aren't the TDI's 16v? are the PD's 16v?
It looks to me like the cylinders are oiled and the crank was rotated leaving oil at the top of the cylinder which is now dripping down.
use a 9a 16v gasser block with 1.6 crank and rods and it would make a short stroke 1.9. i just like odd ball things though, i think thats why i like these cars/engines so much
I am thinking bout building a motor with a 1.5 crank and AAZ pistons in a 1.6 block sleeved to fir the AAZ pistons.should bring me back to 1.6L, but with a much larger piston face and shorter stroke, so it will rev like crazy.interesting thought about using the ford pistons...hmmmm...
