You can see here that the case has a bit of an edge on it, and that the trasmission case is not even sitting down to the lip on the case The transmission (020, 02a/j) case will hit the timing case on near the bolt hole at the “front edge” of the block Onto the REQUIRED transmission modification – only takes a couple minutes with a flap disc on a grinder. I have brushed ceramic paint on and it will lay down to the point you cant see the brush strokes. Using a ceramic based paint is a huge advantage in making it lay flat, and it has great oil/gas/heat resistance. With the block cleaned, and taped, I set a couple “dummy” parts to make it less of a hassle to mask, a spare valve cover (or if you know you are going aftermarket), a 3d printed oil filter housing I had for testing, etc. Time to clean the block up and prep for paint, thankfully I had steam cleaned this motor before I brought it in and it was pretty clean, just some spots behind things like the accessory bracket and other hidden pockets of dirt to clean up.

Now that the ARP headstuds are install ( you will have to take the cam ladder off to do this) seal the ladder back with an anaerobic sealer and finish the timing chain install. This is the timing kit I use for locking the Cam and crank down, there are several options but you are going to need one.

I am going to tear this motor down and do a headgasket (installing headstuds – not required) timing chains, water pump, thermostat housing, oil filter housing (stock will fit the mk1 with some gentle hammering on the core support to clear the cover), oil pan (adding a reinforced plates to the steel pan). I will try to differentiate that when I come across it. here is how I go about installing one into a mk1, some of this will carry to other chassis, some of this is NOT REQUIRED but rather how I like to do things. You can use the mk2 spade on a later starter if you remove the plastic spade housing, pinch the spade tighter and push it on the terminal.So you’ve decided to jump on this 5cyl train? Great idea. main thing is what plug do you have on your loom, mk2 and earlier corrado/passat have a spade on them and mk3 onwards use a nice waterproof plug housing.

Starter wise as above, or MK3 ABF/TDI type will also work fine plus corrado and passat 4 cylinder.

Have you got the clutch cable retaining bracket? with the 02J shifter this will get in the way of the reverse switch so you either remove that or mod the cable holder still available from the SEAT dealer, part number in here: several part numbers for suitable brackets, 357199354, 357199354H, 535199399354C will all work the same.įor the clutch cable the best one to get is the SEAT Toledo TDI one, its OEM fit for MK2 chassis + seat clutch adaptor (since a toledo is basically a MK2 jetta). Rear bracket same again, 4 cylinder 02a type one.

Since you have the MK2 carrier you need the G60, corrado and passat 4 cylinder manual type bracket part number 357199273. Corrado VR6 and bigger engine passat/toledo take a mk3 golf engine mount, so you would use a mk3 front bracket. Yep by front cross member i mean the one the front engine mount is sat on/in.
