daaah.... i realized there was the potential for the slipping of the pulley, but that sucks ass that somebody else had the same exact thing happen to them, and it ruined their car... now, if i drive my car and break it, i get the big backwards IDIOT stamp on my forehead. (insead of the little one) time to steal the g/f's celebrity.... aaaaaanyway...does anybody know for sure if i can just steal the pully off my other block? or is there the possibility that the crank would need to be involved as well? one guy told me that on at least the 8v's, there is a woodruff type key cast into the crank sprocket. i dont know why that would be any different for the 16v's, but can anyone definitively confirm or deny this? i'd like to know as much as i can before i start anything (or make a 200 mile trip to NJ and back! the good news is, shchool is cancelled today, so i have a 3 day weekend. the bad news is that its cancelled because of ice... i'd imagine the celebrity ain't gonna give a quattro a run for its money in these conditions... > If you can swap a bottom end into a car in "an afternoon", you are more than > welcome to come to my place and put this head back on my car. Bring a torque > wrench... okay...to be fair, it went into the evening a little bit...and probably *actually* started in the late morning. mabey 8 hours with some scrwing around and lunch and stuff. and my buddy in NJ has the big torque wrench. thanks, ben randolph 92 16v gti _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
