The VW parts dept. ought to know. Ask them.

I asked Jack Ewald if I could substitute NA rods and crank in a 1.6TD block to build a TD motor. The following was his reply:
Ken,
All the parts you mention could be used, but
are not the same, and were engineered by VW
for more strength to handle the stress / heat.
You can Do anything, however if you want the
motor to live, best build a T/D, with T/D parts.
Experience of 22 + years has taught us this !
Jack
I want to build a 1.6TD motor and have a chance to get a rebuildable TD block but no rods or crank. I would have thought the TD parts would be stronger in some way, but from the responses to this post yesterday I am not that sure.
