Former VWDieselParts.com Forum

OK I have done something and I'm not sure I should tell people about but here it goes. The exhaust valve guides were worn out on my 1.6 head, The valves would rock back and forth 1.5 mm with the valve pushed out half way. The tolerance is 1.3mm. So this is what I did to fix the problem. I had an old...

Welcome to the forum, Glad to see I have someone near me that enjoys the older VW diesels. I may be interested in that 12mm block, just don't have the cash right now. PM me with your ph number I lost it.

I know that sound is a little scary also.

Not sure but the 1.6 i am building is getting head studs for sure. I am running a k14 turbo so I think its a must.

I found this post on 11mm blocks and thought it was good info.

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.

Could you use shim stock and put it under the thick disk?? Just an idea..

WTB five speed transmission for 1991 diesel Jetta.

Sweet truck I love the Caddy. I think if a small diesel truck was made today it would sell great.

Yep that would be ok with me.

Thanks I am very proud of the truck, It's the biggest project I have ever worked on. I just hope it last for a long time. We have been lucky with our weather here in Michigan. Almost no snow up untill yesterday now we have 6 inches on the ground. It was 50 deg, on Wednesday now its 25. I hate winter...

This is how it looks now, I have had no problem with the welds still looks great.
