[Vwdiesel] parts place

Fri May 16 16:30:02 PDT 2008

Parts place is great to find parts but they some of the people working there don't know much. Some do but I have had problems at times getting the wrong seals. Overall I would give them a B+ as I did get a new head that isn't working correct. It was from the looks of is a newer head casting but drilled for a 11mm block. Well, not all the cooling ports are drilled to match so I have about 1/3 of my ports block off and it overheats with high wind and/or hills/moutains. My fix is I will be selling the whole engine in a couple of months since I need more power in the thinner air of Wyoming. It was great for South Dakota and Minnesota but between the wind and hills/mountains along with a really high geared tranny I will be putting a 1.9 TD aaz in. So anyone that wants in can contact me. The onlything wrong is the new head needs a machinest to fix the problem and I just want more power with that car. My rabbit truck has a slow enough tranny that I don't power out I rev out. So this is what has been done. I bored it one size over with new pistons rings and crack/rod bearings. New seals. New head (included the valves, cam, etc). If I get enought I will include the injector pump which I got from parts place rebuilt. It has an idle problem though (it takes a second before it will idle after letting off. New gaskets including a rubber valve cover gasket. New breather hose(only VW has those I found for about $50) all told I have a couple grand into the engine and have been running the amsoil oil and filter (25,000 mile oil change) I have put about 20-25 thousand miles on the engine but becuase of my location and my graduation from college I can afford a bigger engine. So make an offer if anyone wants. I will ebay or craigslist it otherwise. I will be fair and I know I will take a lost. If I didn't want/need the power increase I would get the head fixed myself. Also it has the rotary vac pump and I painted it FORD red. My  email is tgott at hotmail.com
