EDIT: Actually, I have a slightly unusual request for one of the 1.9 VW guys. Could someone tell me the total effective engine length? As in from the bellhousing mounting face to the end of the crank nose assembly/accessory pulley? InitialDave fucked around with this message at 00:58 on Dec 9, 2012 |

Billy Tully posted:What are you scheming where you need this information? Please tell me a RWD something with a TDI. The problem is that the original FIRE lump is really rather small, about 16" long, and is already fairly stuffed in there. The "sensible" option is a 1368cc FIRE, but I quite fancy a diesel. It's not an immediate concern. I'm pretty drat slack about getting on with any of my cars at the best of times, but it seemed like a good opportunity to ask.

Generally, a diesel will produce at least as much engine braking as the equivalent-sized petrol engine, usually more.

How would that work with, say, a poverty-spec Ford Fiesta, or something more powerful like a Mustang GT? Would the engine just die without being able to transfer enough power to the wheels?

You could get a pre-heater.

My friend is seriously considering buying a 2.5 TDi A4, and I've agreed to help him do the cambelt when he does. Should I just shoot myself?CommieGIR posted:Ok, so I gotta do piston rings, the question comes up: Isn't an oversize ring set just slightly longer around the circumference, to go with the larger pistons? I'd have thought putting them on a standard piston would simply result in little or no gap, and they'd end up too loose on the piston even if they filled the bore better.

There may have been other things included in that as well, but you gotta figure that if it costs that much at a garage, it'll be seven shades of hell trying to do it yourself.
