Something I want to present - with the issues you've described, I,
personally, would pull the engine and fully disassemble it and have the
block/crank/rods et all inspected and measured by a reputable machine shop.
With the issues known to exist, it would be a shame to spend the time and
money repl
Agreed - the Mk2 chassis, like the contemporary Honduh chassis, accepts
virtually ALL and ANY configuration of OE drivetrain in a mix-and-match set-up.
Some of the old-school 16v tricks included the 1.8l head on the 2.0l block b/c
the 1.8l head flows better in stock trim. To spice up power, ru
Anything is possible, trans, heads and blocks are all interchangeable. My GTi
had a weird mix of 2.0 and 1.8 components and it ran beautifully. Never passed
emissions because of a hollow cat, but I had a buddy who took care of it. He
sold his business so I registered it as a historic/classic veh
somebody on forums just showed me a couple pictures that makes it pretty
clear now. since i haven't touched these parts before it didn't dawn on me
to look at where you slide the oil pump im shaft gear in is a different
dimension!
it looks like i have a 1.8 block, there is a little bit of wigg
I'm wracking my pea-brain but don't recall any difference in the intermediate
shaft between 1.8 and 2.0l 16vs (or 8vs for that matter). It's been a while
since I looked closely at the front of a 16v but what you describe as an
overhang is normal. From the exterior, the 1.8 and 2.0 blocks are v
The external differences between 1.8 and 2.0 16V heads and blocks are very
minimal. I don't recall the over hang you speak of, but I wouldn't be
concerned.

hmmm, i am still not convinced and found a 1.8 oil pump in it.
is there a problem with me going with the 2.0 im shaft/gear and its oil
pump? if im reading right it can only help? then i won't have to worry.
the more i read im still not seeing how it can be a 2.0 bottom end with the

Sure sounds like a 2.0l 16v especially because of the 2 knock sensors which
were only present on the 91 and later cars - Digifunk for 8v and Moronic for
16v. I wouldn't necessarily throw TEPO (the evil previous owner) under the bus
though - Volkswagen was/is notorious for having a vast spare pa
