So this is what I did to fix the problem. I had an old...

Cracked 11mm blocks Head studs
I found this post on 11mm blocks and thought it was good info. ((NOT MY POST)) I found this on vwdiesel.net So it’s been asked dozens of times, “Why do I need to buy these expensive head studs for my 1.5L or early 1.6L?” The 1.5L diesel (engine code CK) and the 1.6L diesel (engine code CR) as used i...

Re: Just say no to crack, the dreaded 11mm block
Ok so the block I had lined up to buy and put these parts in turned out to be a 11mm block :( . I checked the block out and it's in great shape no cracks. Should I try to use the stock 11mm bolts? This is my first go with a 11mm block. Anyone have experience with 11mm head studs. How much are they? ...

Re: Just say no to crack, the dreaded 11mm block
I just bought this block for the new parts in the engine and the head. I am going to toss this block out and put all the good parts in a 1.6 12mm block.

Just say no to crack, the dreaded 11mm block
I bought this for 120.00 after the previous owner gave up on it. It had new rings, rod bearings, crank bearings and a good head.
