Due to some slight technical difficulties working on getting cam up n running, join the chat whilst you wait

Cheers

Ah'll stick these on here mate so folks can see the differences between the two ....

looks like we need to chemical metal up the head so it doesn't leak oil

ooooo I likes spot the difference puzzles

anyone in devon got an engine crane he can borrow, i would lend him mine but its in essex and over at my mates house waiting to put a V8 in a mk2 daimler

I thought the block wasn't coming out? (Sorry, haven't had time to check out the camera for a while)

The head doesnt fitt + too many little differences , so the 200 blocks going in insted .

Heres a pic

" bed time story "

its a good fantasy read by the people from haynes

Yeah it turned into a non worker given the time n money i have at my disposal atm.

As Buster has shown the 2 blocks do have differences, between the cam roller/rod appertures, the 19j has a small hole, whereas the 200Tdi has huge caverns compared and these protrude outside the 19j block, this means the gasket has an open area. Yes i could fit a 19J gasket but it's not the only difference.

On the other thread i did asking about the differences i missed a post relating to the headbolts being different in all ways, length, width and type. You can't use one on the other and you can't use the other with the one so to speak.

I still believe it's possible with a little work, but time is running out v.quickly now ( have a job booked for tomorrow night, but that's canx atm ) and it has to be up n running by the weekend.

So i'm biting the bullet and rebuilding the 200Tdi ( with correct block ) and will look into a rebore in the future, as stripping it down won't be that much of an issue.

Anyone close who can drop a engine crane round mine tomorrow gets unlimited coffee :lol: :lol:

Fugginell, I'd missed all that.

Well, you know the 200 was running (albeit breathing heavy), so with a following wind there's no reason you can't have it going again by the weekend. Good luck!

Cheers mate, yeah i praying i haven't lost summat from the last time i stripped it down lol

btw if you can't see the difference in the 2 blocks:

19J:



200Tdi:

every few mins we will be hearing 'where the fook is that!'

Or... "will the thing that I broke behind the big damper thing fit from the 19J?"

hehe, i purchased a noo one

Although it came in a suspiciously blue box

I can see me replacing most parts within a month

Engine hoist will be arriving tomorrow

Not sure what to get done tonight in prep, might look at separating the gearbox n block so i can get the crank out and start rebuilding the 200 at least.

get the mrs to help

You'll probably need the engine hoist to get at all the bolts holding the bell-housing to gearbox. General approach is to remove as many as you can get to first, then lift engine, remove engine mounts and lower engine back down onto chassis rails so you can get at the remaining bolts.
Even so, it's worth making sure you can undo as many as possible tonight, along with the engine mountings, earth strap, alternator wiring, and so on (if you haven't already).

Also, have you done anything to the tdi head yet? You can give the valves a bit of grinding and replace the stem seals before it goes back on.
