I have an oil pump that was good when pulled. You can have for cost of shipping GET IT BACK ON THE ROAD! I need me some inspiration for my build

I'll definitely let you know man! I think i'll see what vixentd wants for that 1.9 long block and if your pump will fit it?
That's very generous of you to offer an oil pump. I'm pretty sure mine got destroyed in the grenade that went off inside the the oil pan. The best price on a new one i could find was $90!

Man that sucks...

Hope you didn't get stranded too far from home

My heartfelt condolences to you and your wallet

[Smokey Eddy]

What exactly broke on the crank? Just the bolt or part of the rod as well? I reused my last set of con rod bolts  .

change them man. get ARP ones. The bolts sheared off. definitely don't re-use.

The tow was only $68
I'm a lot more concerned about rods and a crank depending on what vixentd's long block looks like.
i think i vicariously spoke with vixentd today through my friend Calvin and his dad Allan...

Letīs hope your head is still ok. When I broke con rod, it smashed valves in head and something crap want also through turbo...

i'll see on tuesday.
Was that at high rpm?
i was in 5th going about 120km/hr.

I'm deeply sorry. I had that same thing happen in my trusty ol' Gti after a lot of work done to the engine. Similar circumstances, passing a trailer at around 120.. fortunately I could pull out on the next exit and avoid the heavy traffic.

I hope you'll fix it soon and put it back to the road, where it belongs.

Yeah it was in my good running no issues 1.6. I have another from my TD block that only had 80,000 miles, but I have no clue what it ran like as I got the engine in a bag. If you want I could send them both and you decide, if the 1.9 doesn't work out.

I'm sorry Ed I have to ask this. Does it still Run?

[lord_verminaard]

Aw man, that sucks!  I also re-used my rod bolts.     Now that makes me nervous.  I've already sent something through the block once and I don't really feel like doing it again....

It did run actually if you must know
which makes sense... it was a 3 cyl horribly out of balance diesel! but only for a few seconds before i turned it off.
Thanks for the support guys. I sure was depressed last night about it.
I'll likely have a TON of good 1.6td stuff for sale soon if i go through with the 1.9 (granted i can afford the price...)
items such as, oil pan baffle, main bearings, IM shaft bearings, all the seals for those, oil pan gasket & piston rings. I also have the water delivery pipe but i'll see if i can make it work with the 1.9 long block if i go that route.

IDEALY im going to pray that my (basically new) head & valves aren't damaged and I can just find either an aaz block or better yet a 1.6td block and just go that route seeing as i already have the parts (less the con rod bearings - unless i get the crank turned which would be a good idea anyways; i have 0.5mm con rod bearings in the box) for a total bottom end rebuild with baffle and sandwich plate for an oil cooler.

I'm just SO choked that I spent like ... over $2,000 on unrelated engine stuff in the recent months and then this happens...
switches, relays, sound system, all new springs + nitrogen struts + bearings/bushings, and then the parts that were going to go in tomorrow: bearings, seals, baffle and gaskets. Even the oil & coolant in it only had 236km on them.

Man oh man Eddie !! I feel for you. Don't knock your self out over the bolts. Every engine I've over hauled I've reused the rod bolts. The last 1.6L was still running strong 100K miles later when I lost touch with it.  Get back on the road ASAP... you have lots of resources up in your lovely land of the Maple leaf and diesel cars !!

Well, I was going ~120km/h in 3rd gear :lol:
