1.6 cy TD bottom end 1.9 aaz head project

[truckinwagen]

I think its more like 1600 LBS, but still a good HP/LB combo...

hole in the cam cover is for the oil vapour breather apparatus - theres a kind of cyclic separator doodat on there as stock that connects to the inlet air hose on one side and the crankcase breather on the other. I guess you would do with that... whatever you like. it needs to vent to somewhere though... Mann & Hummel make a nice bit of kit called a Provent that separates out the oil very nicely... or you could stick a basic filter on it or something...

Got the block blasted now, as well as the new aaz head pics:







still has some of the media in it, but that will go back to the solvent tank as soon as it's painted.

you can't see it from the pics but I didn't get every last bit of it like I wanted to but a wire brush and elbow grease helped the effort.

mock up, too bad it can't always look this good :'(





i'll run the super fine pad over all of the surfaces tomorrow, and there is still some carbon buildup in the runners, but the valve seals are clean as ***


I only wish I had a sponsor to make this go waaaay faster, I can get it done but just don't have the straight up cash   Had the deck machined, and the whole thing hot tanked so now it can accept a good ceramic paint.  I'll measure the bolt holes as promised and get back to y'all.

Are you gonna paint the block white too???   

BTW, found the 1.6 TD injectors.. Still sticking in a head..  I hit them with some smootchum to get em loose..  IF you still need them let me know...

[NintendoKD]

Yes, I do plan to paint it white. If you wonder why, then I will tell you.  The other day I mused at all of the huge v6diesels, and wondered to myself why do they come back in the crates all painted white.  I figured it out, it is designed for stupid people like me, who wonder where a leak comes from.  Yes sir, I most certainly would like to take those off of your hands for you.  anyone know where I can get a hold of the shims from?  I still need to get the nozzles, too.  Turns out I am missing quite a bit from making this a complete engine, but I need to get a lockdown on the gearbox I will be using, what kind?  I also need a flywheel.... so I can lighten it, and....... p l a y

thanks,

Kevin

also someone ha suggested a bigger oil pump, I will need to know where I can get one of those. I can get the pickup pump at my local autozone *YAY*

you are looking for an oil pump from an aaz or hydraulic 1.6 engine. 36mm gears. but i thought you were using dry sump? that doesnt use a VW oil pump, it uses an external crank driven pump.

also, just use a gasser flywheel and a 16v pressure plate. the gasser flywheel is already way light enough for a diesel. just be sure to scribe a TDC mark in it. gassers dont have TDC marks, just 6* marks.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Check again. If its a 200mm or 190mm flywheel, it has a zero mark regaurdless.
190mm and 200mm flywheels do not have a 6* mark, just a 0 mark.
All 210 gas have both, diamond is the 6* and the zero mark is to the left of the center bolt hole. Its just a dot.

Now I need school on the flywheels you gotta remember here folks, I am building my first engine and am new to this.  I have no clue what you are all talking about right now.  I plan on using an electronic pump, as well as a modified pump from the intermediate shaft.

More pics, I am beginning to think that no one actually reads or has read all of the way through my posts.  Oh well, I have a 78 gasser bunny bunny that I am going to convert to diesel, has a straight pipe 2.5" exhaust and weitec coilover suspension, lowered with reckless abandon.  Anywhoo, I have read here somewhere that I can use the old tank with no conversions, is that a correct assumption?  The guy gave it to me because the 1.8 in it was shot.  Did some research the 1.8 wasn't the stock engine for this car and *surprise* auto tranny with a super loooong third gear.  Just finished pulling the head "after it cooled down of course " and much to my dismay, the valves were bent to holy hell, the head was waaay out of spec, and the timing was rediculously retarded with an HEI blaster ignition, called the guy, and he said he got the car from another guy who told him 91 octane or better or she won't run.  "no wonder"  I gotta tell you though this thing, for bent valves really hauled..... FAST!  the speedo is shot and when I go 5mph it shows 20.  I was coming back from china lake with it and my buddy was driving my car "for safety"  and had it topped out at 140 I totally blew past him pegged at 100 "don't really know how fast I was going"  and DAMN was it cold  still got crazy good gas milage too, unless the fuel meter is shot too.  I am in the process of stripping her bare, and adding chassis support.  Need mk1 parts anyone?  now for the pics all stripped out bunny:

wiring harness was a disaster, when asked, he said "I got it like that "

damned busted speedo

catless dirty craziness

old skool euro style front end ooh baby es muy bene!

this rabbits luck ran out a while ago

more body images, body is staight cept for some lowriding damage and incorrect jacking dents "I love sledge hammers "

Started to strip out the interior, and got pretty far.  anyone need stuff?  I am stripping her Bare and reinforcing the frame.

don't judge me, my garage is filthy looking........ so go look at yours

The fuel tank will work fine, you just need to remove the restriction  at the filler neck so the diesel pump nozzle will fit.

[NintendoKD]

is there a post or a how to with pictures?  come on I'm a Marine we get paid for following directions

[NintendoKD]

so to add to the already long laundry list of parts needed I will need a cluster from a diesel, or make my own guages, pulled the dash and will re-glass it with no A/C, I don't know if I will let the heater go though "extra cooling you see".  Any suggestions?  anyone need a gasser engine?  I have the 1.8 that's in it and an gti engine both complete, as well as an as yet unknown modified auto tranny.

[NintendoKD]

GREAT NEWS! just checked on an experiment that I left overnight and I now know how to remove carbon deposits easily from valves and non-aluminum surfaces.  The answer is CLR "Calcium Lime Rust" buy it at the grocery store and just soak it overnight in a glass or another appropriate container and BAM! "always wanted to say that" the carbon falls right off.  also used it on the turbine shaft and exhaust turbine of a turbo I'm rebuilding and similar results were achieved, no more oxidation crap.

*too tired to sleep*  yet another sleepless night   I need to start looking for the transmission to drive this beast.  I have heard a modified 02a is in order, and wanted to ask if money is not an object, then no joke what is the best tranny to bolt on? cuz..... you know, I'll do it
