[Vwdiesel] Online Source for Manitenance Parts (long post)

[Mike and Tanya Atkisson]

I just purchased a 1981 VW Pickup with a 1.6l diesel engine without A/C.  It
was not running and already had the head removed.  The head had at least 3
bent valves and all the seats between the seats were cracked.
My local machine shop said that it would cost a minimun of $350 to rebuild
the head.
I have decided to buy a rebuilt head off the internet.  The company is
offereing a 12 month/12k mile warranty.
While trying to read the code on my engine I discovered there are no Letters
or Numbers on the block.
After a little cleaning I discovered the block is painted green and had a
sticker from VW of Cananda stating that it is a remanufactured engine.  In
the spot in English on the sticker there is no Engine code listed, but in
French is says Code CR.

Since I live in a very small city, I was planning on ordering all of the
additional parts that I will need to put the engine back together from an
online source.  I have noticed that most of the online stores are using the
same parts software from Worldpac.  Some of the notes that are on the items
that I need are confusing.

I am looking at ordering the following parts from this website since their
is no tax and shipping is free.

Here are the parts I am not 100% sure of;

Head bolts. (11 or 12??) (I belive mine are 12mm with washer, but I am not
100% sure)
Head gasket (Mine has 1 notch)
Head gasket set (????) no choice for how many notches
Thermostat (70C, 80C, 87C, or 92C)???
Aux fan switch (2 pin / 95-90C or 102-97C)???
Diesel Inj Hose (20m roll, black, or yellow)???

I also plan on ordering all new mounts, timing belt and tensioner, and all
new cooling system hoses.

Any help deciding which parts to order will be greatly appreciated.  My
cylinder head should be here on Wed, so I need to get these parts ordered
soon.  Also, if I have left out anything obvious that I will need please let
me know.

Thanks,
Mike
