OK, I pulled out my motor and I have found the death rattle's cause.
It spun a rod bearing. I'm thinking of going with a rebuild of the 1.6TD
instead of buying the 1.9 TD Shortblock.
So, questions abound! Not really, just three!
1) Does the 1983 1.6 TD motor use the same crankshaft as a 1.6NA motor? How
about a 1.5 motor?
2) For four oversized German TD pistons with rings, I'm getting quoted just
under $500 locally. Does anyone out there know of or have a source for
these with a little better price?
3) How can I tell if the bearings in the turbo are wearing out? (Factory
TD)
Thanks in advance!
