[Vwdiesel] Re-ringing a Rabbit --(the Wineland way )

[H.Hagar]

Here is a couple of questions from Hagar to the REAL mechanics in the know.

Can a hydraulic head be used on a NON hydraulic block ?      

Bart Winelands  1.6 NA    ----- I would suspect that just installing a different
cam may affect oil pressure.

Cam bearings are linebored  IMHO.    So  attention would be needed in that area.

IMHO    VW Rabbit diesels  rely on lots of oil flow for COOLING   that translates in to LOW oil pressure.

Bart does your block have oil squirters on piston skirts like the Turbo ?.    Anyway
take your time one step at the time. --She is running is she not ?  ----Do not
panic just yet.

Broken rings ?    IMHO    not likely.    If you have a lot of oil in blow--by ?   pull the
line while trouble shooting.  Oil from cam bearings may be the problem.   Ask me ---
I made the stupid mistake of trying to run 1.5L NA test engine with NO VC.  LOL.

Why ?   shit on the Landrovers I could run them for adjusting valves --without Cover.

Hagar.

This is interesting but I've had a gut full for now and really 
hope it will drive again :) 
thanks again,

Bart
