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

[H.Hagar]

Ya lost me on this one Hagar, what do you mean my
non-hydraulic block?
Are you calling a block with oil squirter's a
hydraulic block?
please clarify.
Thanks
Bryan


Bryan and  ALL  :    sorry my fault ---I had a "Bad Hair Day"   so my writing was not
to good.  Pun intended ( I got hairy tongue ) .

Roger Brown and Loren   got it right.    I was alluding to the fact that Bart Wineland
said that he took a  1989 Hydraulic Lifter head and installed it on a rebuilt older
type block. I asked him for the block letters (number would be nice too). So far
I have not found it.    And  NO I am not calling a squirted block a hydraulic block, I
was trying to figure out where all his oil pressure goes.

VW did modify the oil-systems on models as the years went by. That may be a problem when
mixing parts.

IMHO   the idiot lights are to blame when beginner DIY gets a Rabbit.   ---a new Rabbit
may have 100 psi  ---- an old one may run ok  for years  with 3 psi measured at head
when warm.      Bart Wineland think about putting in a real high quality BOILERGAUGE..

They can be found in 1.5 inch diameter  I  have one here that may be 16 inches. On the
dash in my GM V8   is a 6 inch.    Like the VW the GM is a high FLOW system.
And as such there is a lot of difference from cold to hot.

IMHO   the high flow system is used as part of the cooling system.

On a NON hydraulic head Rabbit the running problem and the Oil pressure
would be two different problems.

On a hydraulic head Rabbit ?   I do not know.    

Hagar.

PS :    A 16 inch precision gauge ?  yup on a hydraulic press  it is calibrated in
pounds pressure. (got the whole thing from a dumpster).
