I love how you “over explain” the build process. Most of us including myself have zero experience taking apart/ rebuilding an engine. My Jetta has a good amount of blow by so when it’s time for the engine to go bye bye I’m gonna rebuild one on the side using you’re vids
Appreciate this brother! I wish a lot more creators were thorough with their builds, they’ve already done the research on how to do something, why not share that info right!
Been waiting for this update. Nice way to finish the week. Great video and love the way through the build. I cannot wait to see this gtd on the road my diesel brother
Me too! 300k km so far, original turbo original transmission. All bolt ons already done, just waiting on those 2 components to fail in the distant future, and plan on doing a full build!
For top rings… it might seem weird but place them into the groove, holding the ring beside the piston and then just gently lift the gap end that is facing the piston. Bring that end up across and around the top while rolling the ring around into the groove. It’s counterintuitive at first but then it almost falls into place like a magic trick. This old school trick helps to avoid scratching nice new pistons or stretching your rings too far.
Doing justice to the cjaa. Can’t wait to see this thing spun up and on the track again. You’re starting to motivate me to get off the couch and build my cjaa🤔
Do you mean ring orientation or as in end to end gap ? - factory end to end gap, not oversized (within spec for this build since the cylinders were only re honed) and then the orientation was ring 1 to drivers, ring 2 to passenger and control ring to rear of engine!
@@ThatGuyTyy Ring end gap. Even if you don’t bore the block and use std size rings, the end gaps should be checked at minimum and opened up if needed using a ring filer. Just looking out for a fellow TDI enthusiast. I want this build to succeed.
@@JPMotorhead1993 he's using oem pistons, rings, and block. Should be no need to check ring gap unless the engine has been bored or has some crazy cylinder wear. Running more boost may require more ring gap tho
You want the wrist pin retainer opening to be at either 12 o’clock or 6 o’clock as the up and down motion of the piston can have so much force it can compress the retainer and have it pop out
Can someone definitively say whether this engine shown is a CBEA or a CJAA? It looks just like my CBEA, in a few ways, but I'm in the middle of changing from CBEA to CJAA so I don't really know what im talking about. Doesn't the CJAA crank have teeth not a gear for the oil pump? Isn't the CBEA oil pump the one shown? (the big beefy one with the balancer shaft inside it)
Gotchu homie, thanks for checking out the videos as always! Gonna switch gears with some other mods before we go full send on the dyno with the motor first so stay tuned for those!
I'd like to compare port Jobs, the limited head flow is the biggest killer on these cjaa. And when I did mine there was hardly any help or information stateside.
What are your thoughts on a mild street build? I'm thinking delete and hybrid turbo. I'm hoping for 400wtq but I'm wondering if I need to do studs, nozzles and cp3
So... pretty much "stock" other than upgraded rods an head studs.. not much of a HP build. The weak point now is stock crank. An mains. Luv your vid.. too..Ty... what actually failed when u came off track?
Yeah weakest points of this engine are the head bolts mainly. The turbo (2872vrk) on the original engine is capable of 50psi and we’re only barely scratching 40psi right now, we’ll probably see just over 300hp with these before cams show up along with a ported head. Pretty easy to swap over once they show up too. We’re pretty sure the rods in the engine are bent and some other internal damage, we’ll pull it apart once we’ve swapped it over!
terryh5496 If you just refitted the balance shaft assembly without fitting an uprated hex shaft oil pump drive, then you have a ticking time bomb on your hands. Just saying.

What year engine and How many miles?
Dude you never explained how you got the cams to get in time with each other then installed to the head

Comments like this really make my day, appreciate it bro! Excited to keep going with this one and turn it to 11 for you guys 🥺
Nice to see that you've mad crazy progress! Can't wait for you to get it set up to spec, and have it rolling again!
Thank you for update! Looks great! 👍👍
Thanks for checking in! More too come for sure!
We want more videos! I need my daily breakfast cereal viewing content!
following this build series closely. hope to do something like this to my mk6 tdi some day

Gotta getter done sir! Grab a spare block and chip away, best way to do it
Did you replace the bolts for the main caps?
Don't you have to cheque or grind the rings gap when ther new?
Did you gap your piston rings?

Where is the other videos for this?
did you not need to double check the ring gaps before installing them on the piston?
I might gotta call you out for a race i'm currently building the same motor but in a wagon and i could use some pointers

super stoked bro... making me want to tear apart my 11 JSW TDI 6MT CJAA, keep up the vids
Keep er under the limit for a little while. We wanna see it live and breathe and not blow up 😂
Haha 1000km of baby driving, that’s gonna be the real challenge 😉
It didn't age well 😂
😂😂😂😂
Lmao. I predict the future
Hi guys , the replacement of joint injector delete the "clac clac clac" at 1100 1300 rpm ? On Gtd 170
Dope video. One day I wish to rebuild my tdi
Will rebuild my engine next week😊
following along hoping to do something similar to my 2013 jetta tdi - comments to boost the algorithms & thanks for the inspiration
Gotchu homie, thanks for checking out the videos as always! Gonna switch gears with some other mods before we go full send on the dyno with the motor first so stay tuned for those!
You never showed or explained how you got the cams to be in time or installed
you don't make cutting games for the segments?
I'd like to compare port Jobs, the limited head flow is the biggest killer on these cjaa. And when I did mine there was hardly any help or information stateside.
Can’t wait 🔥
If you want 400hp first ring should have bigger gap thanks for your hard work

400WTQ for a street build is a lot, nozzles, cp3, and a big turbo like a 2872 is gonna be needed to get you there
@@ThatGuyTyy what about 350wtq? My kerma stage 1 non deleted did 325
You should have gone with a better fastener company. There's no shank, the strongest part of bolt or stud. Really enjoyed your video.
24:15 there no injectors in it that's why lol
So... pretty much "stock" other than upgraded rods an head studs.. not much of a HP build. The weak point now is stock crank. An mains. Luv your vid.. too..Ty... what actually failed when u came off track?

Many things have made me guess this has well blown up by now so dont worry
too much😂😂
