a socket will be then!

My "inter" bearings are just like fatmobile described them, with pieces chipped out of them.

Thanks for the advice, but keep in mind that we cannot mention any competitor of Jack...(the owner of the forum)

andrew can you elaborate on that??? no turbo pump you mean IP right?what do you mean by not increasing fueling? and what do you mean by

have an easier time than if it were not turbo-charged.

the engine he is installing is not a Turbo-charged

Thanks Fatmobile, I'll try tomorrow, I'll find me a 9mm-12 pt socket or wrench!

I'm working on my 85 Jetta TD,the head of the bolt looks like the tip of a torx bit, but with more splines to it(12-point???)

Guys, I'm having trouble taking off the pressure plate bolts, the 10mm wrench is lose and the 9mm don't fit, this is a regular 10mm 11 point bolt right???

Sorry for "Highjacking" the tread , but how do you check for leaks from the cracks between the valves? is there a "homemade" test to see if the head is not ruin because of the cracks between the valves???(other than messuring the tickness of the cracks)

check the bottom of this post they have a "home made" tool to install the bearings!

any body know if the intermediateshaft bearings that Jack sell need to be reamed???

had an ongoing leak and finally got it resolved by adding an additional breather. I drilled a hole in the oil cap and used a plastic NPT threaded fitting connected to a hose. At the end of the hose is a vent liked you'd see on a rear drive differential. The hose is about a foot long and points towa...

The factory fix was to replace the breather hose with one that tees off to a line back to the engine block. The single-fitting plate that takes the output from the vacuum pump (pressure side of the pump) is replaced with one with two hose fittings

do you have pictures of what you just mentioned????

But if you have read my postings before I stated that I set the Crankshaft TDC but the valves on piston 1 were shut. So I rotated it until they were open If your #1 valves are open, you are not at the camshaft's TDC, the lobes need to be pointing up, which means no contact between the camshaft/lobe...

I know what you are missing when you spell Hillbilly tuning, it shoulbe "Hillbilly TUNING".... just a joke relax as Haga says. Just play with it and the problem will go away. 180 degrees off, is my guess.

caddywompus, I PM you about a 1.6 turbo head please do not forget me.
