does anyone have an RD swap?

[MK1Scirocco16v at attbi.com (Dave Ewing)]

So what am I thinking of, RV??  I could of sworn I put an RD motor out of a
Jetta in my friends Mk2 and it had the same pistons of the JH.  That's
weird!

Dave

P.S.  I have 2 knock sensors available.  One 8v and one 16v but would rather
sell the entire CIS-E complete.

I'm running an RD with the JH head right now..... no knock sensor ignition,
I have to run 93 octane and it still pings a little when realy hot.
