Engine bay
It's finally in!!! After almost 2 1/2 years, the Rabbit truck finally has the 16v installed. It is a combination of a 2.0liter bottom end from a '91 Passat, and the 1.8liter 16v head from the '87 Scirocco. The Scirocco's 5-speed transmission is installed as well with a new Sachs clutch kit and eurospec lightened flywheel. Replaced all the fuel injector brass housings, plastic housings and seals. Cleaned up and reused the old injectors. Replaced all gaskets including head, oil pan, both intake manifold gaskets, and the exhaust gaskets as well. Bearings looked good, but I had to replace one rod bolt due to my own fault. New Head bolts obviously , new timing belt, new tensioner, new water pump, new hoses except for the crankcase to rubber intake boot because it is and obsolete part that is impossible to find. New radiator as well. I will think of more later, but that is a pretty good list for now.
