Re: 90 mm transmission axel flange swap to 100mm flange

I was going to swap the 100mm flanges from a 1997 Jetta to my old style ff trans. After some research I found out the 100mm flange will hit the case so it needs to be ground down to make them fit. There is a good chance of going thru the trans case so I decided not to do it. I was going to use the f...

Re: Hydro head on mechanical block

The valve guides on my Mach. Block is al worm out. So I found a great deal on a compleat hydro engine for 125.00. The valve guides are almost perfect on the hydro head. That is why I am considering using the hydro head.

I know the extra drain hole in the head needs to be plugged but will it need to be resurfaced at the plugged hole? Do I use a mech head gasket or hy...

Re: Diesel troubles

My tank also had a dent in the center. I took the tank off and plugged all the openings. I used an air fitting and put air in the tank. The dent came right out. It didn't take much air pressure

Re: valve adjusting shims

Great that is what I was hoping to hear. The ones that are a little rusted I will clean them and flip over. This long weekend will be a good time to get them adjusted. Thanks

valve adjusting shims

So i am getting ready to adjust my valves, after looking at my stash of shims i have found that some of them have rust on one side. Anyone know if both sides can be used? I am wondering if one or both sides are hardened. If both sides are hardened I will just flip the shim over and put the rusted si...

1999 passat engine swap?

I found a real nice 1999 Passat with a blown engine. Will a 1.6 diesel fit in this car? I know I will have to do work to make the electirical and fuel work but will the engine fit?

Re: Weird idle when cold

It's not surging it jumps up about 100 rpm and stays. It only happens when cold and it sets idling for about 10 mins. I added a k14 turbo when I rebuilt the engine about two years ago. It has a n/a pump.
