mech na head on mech turbo block
I read somewhere once the later A2 heads were all the same between turbo and NA. Someone can probably confirm this, but if thats the case, a 1.6NA head from a late 80s, 91, 92 would fit. The turbo heads used a sodium injected alloy and special exhaust valves. It'll work fine. Minor differences. Fat...

there is no extra hump. I have no idea if it is oem or after. the lifter cam contact point is solid not shelfed with shim. I had them out when I did the head gasket.

If you removed your battery from the car to charge it, when you installed the battery in the car, you messed with the battery connections. Just so this is clear to those reading through this thread. yes. I replaced the battery on 011709, and the clamps that go on the posts. they are the same type c...

Re: battery
I must not be getting a good charge. the volt meter is around 10 when cold and jumps to 14 once started and "blipped". 10V means the battery is extremely dead... good chance by a whole dead cell. 14V once blipped means the alternator is trying its best. If you measured the above voltages ...

weld and solenoid test
When did you weld the alternator bracket? Before these problems started or after? If you did not get your grounding connection correct, you could have caused issues elsewhere. Did you test the starter solenoid like I mentioned? weld was before, a couple of weeks. take a screwdriver and carefully cr...
