:idea: Good stuff :!: Hagar just stuck his thumbs up in approval :idea: I think it's awesome you did a cheap semi-refresh on a engine with just rings. It's not like you were telling people to do it, its just something YOU decided to try. Something to be learned there. If someone recommends against ...

H'mm using that method would struggle to work. Gently placing head on block might give you something, but as soon as you screwed down even finger tight would move pistons, even if in gear, foot on brake etc. Take your old gasket and measure it's thickness around the piston , assuming that the last ...

When i replaced my glow plugs,they were all snapped at the ends...where did they go? The oil pan i hope? I feel is notice if they got chewed up in my motor at some point Likely as not melted. Timing out perhaps or merely extreme driving, or relay failing to turn them off quick enough, or at all... ...

banned? WTF is Omnimod? I know they like to call this the "hillbilly forum" because, well I'm not sure exactly why, but they seem afraid to talk about things like timing by ear or any IP bushing diy- perhaps for good reason.... nevertheless, big loss for them. They do have a new owner now...

I took some time this morning to loosen the head, had the top off, was able to see that the shim is still in place and it appears that everything else still is as well. So now what? Put it back together and try again, or is it time for a new pump? With top off, turn engine over and see that the pis...

I'd first use a 50cc syringe on the return line to push some of the fuel back out of the supply line to lower the fuel to below the split. dismantle the throttle linkage ...

It's actually nice outside today so I guess I'll pull the pump off and maybe start tearing it apart. If it's dropped out then it's resting harmlessly on the bottom of the pump. If it has not fallen out, but dislodged, then it will have effectively grown in thickness, which I suspect will mean that ...

there should still be fuel coming out of the lines unless something inside the pump came apart. Did you remove the plunger and spring from the fuel solenoid to verify this this isn't the issue. It would seem that he did... 3rd line from the bottom of his first post :mrgreen: Mr nmrwr85; whilst the ...

I'm new to this forum, been on vwvortex for years. I'm a diesel mechanic for international but haven't touched anything older than late 90's so no mechanical stuff. I have an injection pump issue on my 82 rabbit. The rear seal was leaking so I followed instructions for doing it on the car. I pulled...
