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.

Is this an ABF? And the gearbox, is that an 02A with an 02J shift tower? Interesting. I would love to see an ABF on carbs. -

More pix please.
What are you running to control the spark?
Exhaust looks good, where did you get it?
Cheers

Isn't the AAD motor normally an 8v? I thought you couldn't fit a 16v head to any 8v block?
I've got KR, 9a and a ABF head but all 3 blocks need a rebore and new pistons. If I can fit the 9a or ABF head to an AAD motor it would make things much simpler.1978 MK1 2.0 16v http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/foru...-46488-70.html

I know it is possible to fit a 20v head to an 8v block by blocking some oil returns and enlarging another.Originally posted by sports racer View Post
I presume the same would be possible if the 16v engines had the same cylinder spacing and head bolt locations. Just put one on a 8v block and it should become clear what needs to happen77 Mk1 GLS 2 door - That sinking feeling

The AAD is an 8v tall block found in audi a4's. Same as 16v ABF blocks, with piston squirters etc 82.5mm bore 92.8mm stroke. No need to block any oil return ports just a straight bolt on for 16v heads. You need new pistons unless you want 8.0:1 compression ratio.sigpic

If I need new pistons I'm back at square 1. May as well stick with my 9a and get new pistons for that.1978 MK1 2.0 16v http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/foru...-46488-70.html
