Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

                rings for the 1.6 k jet are as follows

                top ring 0.070" thick

                middle ring 0.080" thick

                bottom oil scraper ring 0.160" thick.

                how much wear is in the bores? Use an inside micrometer and measure top middle and bottom of the bores. If it has more than 0.005" wear and or an obvious step at the top of the bore get new 0.020" oversize pistons and bore and hone it.

                  Remember to measure the bore front-to-back and not side to side too.
