- On todays episode I continue the engine rebuild on mk1 golf 1.6 diesel engine. I finally got the chance to use zinc plating at home which turned out really good, makes a big difference.
Stay tuned,
Drive SAFE!

beautiful work, take your time, do it right.
That engine is beautiful. I really wish more people tried building up these old engines instead of swapping in new. It keeps it more classic that way.
Feel the same way, I mean the mk3 TDi and TD swaps are cool, but there are less and less of the standard 1.6Ds (CR,JP and other codes)
The earliest Audi designed non-turbo engines are mechanical marvels (ok, they've got electric glow plugs) but DPFs, no, EGR, no. and the MFI pump is a work of Bosch art. An early 1.5/6, IF PROPERLY MAINTAINED and used in the correct rev band can be less polluting than a later complex electronic controlled engine.
Bravissimo, quanti CV riesci a tirare fuori?
Thank you very much for your simple explanation
Welcome back!! Nice to see you working on that project again.
UTP great work champ.🙌🏻
Great video, rebuilding my vacuum pump too. Had the service manual at hand and noticed you put the diaphragm in backwards. Double checked with Manuel, "raised center away from the pump body". Not sure it that will affect the vacuum, but if your having problems, could be the reason. Engine is looking good!
wow nice. In feel like i need to do this to my old audi engine
Well I with my experience as a Golf mk2 owner and diesel enthusiast can say that you are wrong about the 1.6d (JP code) engines boiling the coolant (those that do are due to poor maintance and beating the heck out of the engine), every mk2 I drove never had a temprature issuse not even the high mileage ones
You could be right about the mk1 1.6d (CR code) engines having temperature issuses (more mileage ones), I heard that the CR engines had head gasket problems that are due to the 11mm headbolts being used and that was solved on the JP engines that use 12 mm bolts
Although the TD (JR code) variants do have headgasket issuses
Hope you dont mind my long comment and I also want to say that thats one beautiful clean engine you have
Hey man ! Well i had a couple of mk2 golfs with 1.6 td engines and all of them had headgasket problems. This is my first 1.6 NA diesel and that's why i said that i hope it will not boil because of my past experience xD ! To be fair here in romania these cars were miss treated from the '90 to this day because everyone just wanted to get a good consumption out of them and when it came to repairs they did the cheapst option there is. This engine is a JK engine from 1983 and i hope after the rebuild it will run fine. Thank you for your input, nice to see that you had the chance to drive some non boiling diesels ! Here in Romania only in the last 10 years ppl started to restore and rebuild classic vw cars, we have a long way to go !
@@upcyclethepastutp9901 haha well here in Croatia it was somewhat the same (drive it with no maintanance until it falls apart), dont worry if your engine is a JK those are supposed to be the 12mm headbolt fixed engines and the mk2 NAs are problem free/bulletproof so no worry there
Here in Croatia because of the Bosnian TAS license VWs there were 98% NA Ds and only few TDs from Germany and the Ds are true tanks no problems with them (except with the first ones (CRs))
Thank you for explaining how to set the engine to TDC
Boiling the coolant is no joke just had the this problem as the weather is getting warmer
The motor looks amazing and now that you have chassis back, it going to be epic. This build has been a year or so in the making and the results are going to be epic.
Excellent taf
Engine looks 👌🏻😎 let’s hope it runs as good as it looks 😃👍🏻
Let's hope it will !
Helpful Video, thank you so much!
Cool build! Great attention to detailes. Love to see it coming back together! Therapeutical I might say :D
Thank you my friend !
Beautiful work, must be time consuming.
I am wondering, shouldn't there have been dowel pins on the block to align th cylinder head?
Thanks for your comment ! I was surprised as well that the block didn't have any dowel pins, the mk2 diesel and petrol engines that i worked on had pins for alignment . Who knows what the vw engineers had in mind back in the '70
Hey man, please come back, we need more videos 😊
great job men!!
Thank you !
Great channel!
Great yob bro . Are you weld a cylinder head on crak ponits between valves ?
woow I love it
Motor is looking great man! Is this a non ac setup?
Thanks mate, here in europe you will rarely find a mk1 golf with ac, it was not common at all !
@@upcyclethepastutp9901 dang! Here I am gathering parts to delete my ac! Haha
Was that Galvanizing with zinc?
Or plating with chrome ?
It is not aluminum so I know it is not anodizing ..
It's zinc plating :) check Gateros UK
In which episode I can see how the valves are adjusted (in right clearance) with those adjusting discs (or plates)?
The valves were adjusted at the workshop :) don't have the knowledge to do that or the machines
Can a block plug be replaced by an electric heating plug?
What year is your mk1?
hahaha 1st comment
Yiiisss !

Very very nice project ! Good luck and call me when you need a hand
Thank you Bro !
For people at home, it is a great idea to simply roll that crankshaft back about 20 degrees and KNOW that you are not risking any chance of piston/valve contact. Yes, he piddled around with his metal blade to help insure proper cam placement, but, why take the chance? Roll the crank back and lower that #1 and #4 piston in the bore. When head placement is completed, THEN roll the crank back up to dtc. Common sense can be your friend.
If you want to avoid later problems, always torque pulley bolts and such BY HAND and don't use an air or electric wrench to tighten down. I always buy vehicles which a guy like this has assembled and have to repair and replace so many items due to lazy, sloppy assembly. If the job is worth doing.....do it with a degree of control....not simply cornholing your way along because it seems easier at the time.
Additionally, I never have an engine on an engine stand when I place the head on the block. Why? Because, believe it or not, the cast iron in the block bends to a certain extent and you end up torquing down a head on a bowed block. I have the block FLAT on a firm wooden or other safe surface as I do NOT want to cause any imperfections in that head gasket's ability to seal. Simply common sense and good practice.
Your comments are always filled with good points, advice, and techniques. I appreciate them. Please try to be more sympathetic to the producer of the video. I appreciate his content as well. Constructive criticism is good, but you're being rather merciless.
You obviously know your stuff, thanks for the valuable input.
Your ending comment that no one ever takes the time to rebuild these engines is pure crap. You have bought into the glitz and mindless thought processes of modern society that nothing matters except for glitz and extravagance. And, that is why the world is how it is now.
szép munka csaba fiam
Dánké sőn !
