I am looking to do a 2.0l conversion for my 86
16v. I plan on using my head. My question is will a 2.0l that thew
a timing belt and has bent valves work for me since I am using my head?
[Shannon Fenton] Yes
possibly. You need to inspect it to be sure the valves contacting the pistons
did not damage the pistons. I highly doubt
it.
also what years/models 2.0 16v's will
work for me? I have seen 90-92 GLI, 91-92 GTI, and 90-92 Passat.
[Shannon Fenton] Engine
code 9A, there is one other but I can think of
it.
Are there any others, or audi's? Is there a
good tech section on a site to deal with the conversion?
[Shannon Fenton] The best
resource is you're Bentley manual, if you don't have one go to www.amazon.com and get one first. The best
tech section is right here on the list. The swap is very straight forward,
make sure you do all the things that you don't want to do again on the motor
before the swap. Rod and main bearings (regardless of mileage) seals etc etc.
The swap is time consuming and will test you patience, have a backup car! I
have pics of my swap on my page at www.scirocco16v.com.
What does the whole engine way for
shipping purposes? the short block?
[Shannon Fenton] no
clue
Thanks,
Steve
