Here goes nothin....
Been planning this for a while, but it was supposed to be a winter project. Wasn't quite ready yet. KEP adaptor parts have been sitting here. Timeline moved up because of a failure. Had a chirp that turned into a BAD miss, valve seat issue on one cylinder.  Had a fresh 1.9 AAZ diesel sitting in my storage trailer that had never been fired. (honed, rings, bearings, injection pump reseal). "new" engine was destined for my daily beater . Same engine in the beater is getting a little tired, I've put at least 350,000 km on it and the compression is getting down. Still runs okay though. Swapped the "new" engine into the beater. 16 year old son is learning...  |

Honda rad installed. Lower rad hose from mk 2 jetta is a direct fit. Upper hose is going to have to be a cut and add a solid piece in the middle deal... having to make a custom piece for a heater hose hookup on the back of the head, not enough room for a stock part. Going without heat for the moment but want to install a heat/defrost box later. Came up with a cone type K&N filter at the Bothwell car show (huge 1 day show about 2 miles from my house) that I made fit with some stainless pipe and a rubber elbow. Need to add a support brace to make sure it stays put. Still need fuel lines, wiring, and exhaust to make it runnable. Would like to run it at the autocross this weekend but don't think I'm going to make it.
