I see cold trouble/glow plugs ... now makes sence

libbybapa you made your own injector tester didn't you???

I'm in Nogales, AZ about 60 miles south of Tucson, AZ. Libbybapa, what do you mean by junk for a glow plug???? When the TDIs come, you think we will be able to put them in our 80's Jettas/rabbits??? I know it can be done, but right now the resources are limited.... I would love a TDI on my 85 Jetta ...

sounds expensive, but if you don't have a block to work with that might be the only option.... it is hard to find VW diesel engines this days, jack is having trouble himself, he can't sell the rebuild kits for lack of cores. In my case I’m doing a rebuilt, my engine which was running it smoked a l...

when your enine gets wornout beyound the last allowed tolerances for boring, can a 1.6D/TD engine be re sleeved???

have any body heard of one been done?

have any body done this?

there is a guy in E-bay that sells sleeves for VW diesels, is this a good idea???

The dimension of 0.032mm stamped on the top of his pistons means that the cylinder bore should be 0.032mm larger, in diameter than the measured diameter of the pistons. That is, 77.488mm + 0.032mm = 77.52mm bore. duffer you are totally correct Im doing a rebuild with the same size pistons that adam...

check with Jack he is just about the best finding engine parts for VW Diesels engines and I'm sure he'll guide you in the right direction!!

hey waht about the othre donor engines that you have are those 1.5 too???

t-bone you would not be interestedn seling any engines would you?

I read somewhere in the forum that the bore/ piston size on the engines 1.5/1.6 is the same just the stroke is different giving it the 1.6 denomination... but don't quote on that

I heard some where that the engines from 81 to 92 were all interchangeable, but I guess as a whole unit, but makes sence that two holes on the head have to have two holes on the block.

Jack was telling yesterday that there is no coolant runing behind the area where the holes are and that the the head might be ok, I will take the injectors off and will take it to the machine shop and get it tested, also talked to the machine shop and said that they have seen heads that had been plu...

Can a hydraulic head be used in a nonhydraulic engine?? since hydraulic head have two oil return holes???

I spoked to Jack (via e-mail) over the weekend and told him about the situation, and he is going to take the .020 pistons back and send me the .040 that I need :lol: (for the re-stoking fee) very nice of him. As soon I as I receive my pistons, I will begin the reassemble of the mighty 1.6 TD!!! I wi...

guys finally I got the engine all apart and taken to the machine shop, and the machinist said that I need the engine to be cut at the 3rd over size, yeah...excess wear on the cylinder walls, the problem is that I bought the kit from Jack that is for the 2nd over size and now Im stuck with a set of p...

Got it! I was just confused because I hear all over the place that a non-turbo block should not be used with a turbo(because of the oil jets), but what you said makes cense. Same goes for the head, "THEY" always say that when "ONE" buys a new head for a turbo engine "ONE&quo...

guys please check this link and let me know if this head looks like a hydraulic
