 After sanding off the rust covering the engine code, found it that it is a 
 GX...hence the hydraulic lifters.  So what does anyone know about the GX?  
 From what I read, it was used in golfs and jettas, it has 9.0:1 compression, 
 but smaller valves.  Everything else is the same as JH I believe.  Does 
 anyone know what year the GX was produced?  Coulda swore this car was 
 completely original...hmm...well, I'll have to start using higher octane 
 gasoline. :) >>


The GX engine was only used in 85- golfs and jettas.  some were CIS, some 
were CIS-E.  it has a massive 85 hp in an A2.  It the crappy base model 
engine essentially.  I don't believe it was equipped with knock-sensor.
