Oh god if your block is cracked!! ...Lets all hope not!!

Oh yeah ARP head studs get them...See bad news from block. Try not to laugh too much.

He is the man for performance rebuilt pumps as everyone says. You got it covered dude.

I had mine never seized and all that and I got the result you can see, took 70 pics and only got 3 to show the crack. My block was likely acid dripped when it was at the machine shop. Ok then I need to hire some termites to paint the inside of my engine no problem. That is one hell of a theory possi...

You may have your engine too far advanced as well, due to the knocking and white smoke you talk of. Do further diagnostics once you got new injectors and heat shields installed.

These injectors you took from your bad engine and installed them on your running engine. How long were they sitting and any contamination in them? Maybe these other injectors are no better than the ones you had, or possibly you got other problems like the pump is sucking air or your fuel filter is p...

Looks like not too much to the tranny, I think you could handle a rebuild fatmobile, but likeyou said this guy sure does good work!! I have only done 6, 13, 15, 18 speeds for trannies and never took apart a FWD tranny before, looks not too bad, just need a good area to set things out so you don't mi...

So thats a 1.6 N/A with a mechanical head probably. These engines are swapped in and out of these old cars, sorry just checking...Would be a 12mm block then. I think the mech heads produce more power than hyd. so if you want power then go mech(something like 2hp which is alot for these things) You w...

I put in no additive in winter, just diesel fuel at the pump and thats it. They make it for cold climates in the winter why dump anything else in your tank? Maybe you guys got some bad fuel? The only time I ever dump diesel 911 in a tank is when they come up from the states from a warm climate and t...

Ok what diesel Vw engine do you have 1.5, 1.611mm mech or hyd head? 12mm block? Need to know what year and I can tell ya right now my own findings say go drop a tdi in and scrap it if you really want fast, there is a guy that has over 250hp on a 1.9 tdi. I know a guy in town that has a 32Valve caddi...

Heres the pic of my crack between the oil and coolant ports. I sure hope jb weld works, I am still in misery of my findings. What yall think? There is another bolt hole that was a hairline that goes to one prot and maybe another hairline crack somewhere else. 600kms on the complete engine job. Arp h...

Thats the best rabbit ever made, made in Germany and has the round headlights. Reminds me of my old 79er but way nicer.

Hillbilly tuning these old diesels is THE only way to do it. Special tools and the dial indicator setup will never be in my box. You can hear when its in time. Fatmobile you probably will never have trouble with the 11mm stock bolts. I just have terrible luck with my home projects and they want me t...

The worst part was explaing to my fellow techs at work why I only drove my car one day. I am the lead hand and take pride in my work and try my best to do all jobs with care. The only thing I did wrong was I didn't use studs. Poor desgin and had I known more about the weak point and a solution I wou...

What is THE best silicone to use on the threads or think thats a bad idea? Probably the high temp red stuff?
