Description: 1982 MK1 Volkswagen Caddy Pickup with 1.6L Diesel... Can it be brought back to life after a lifetime of abuse and being abandoned for 25years? Engine Cylinder Hone: amzn.to/3w67DbL Valve Spring Compressor I almost bought: amzn.to/3bmbDg8 Triple Square/XZN sockets: amzn.to/3eorxXY Thoughts: This was abandoned over 25years ago, 800 miles from home after a life of neglect. There are a ton of redneck repairs but they will be sorted out. The engine runs fantastic now and thankfully the injection pump seams to be in great shape. I think it was parked do to a bent valve(low performance) and overheating issues or maybe it was the starter that made them throw in the towel. What do you think? What I did in this video: ENGINE: Honed block to accept standard piston rings. Knurled (dimpled) pistons 3 and 4 to take out any slop do to minor oversize do to clean up. Fixed warped head. Lapped and put in 1 new exhaust valve on cylinder 2. Cleaned injectors. Checked clearances for everything. New head gasket, head bolts, timing belt, water pump, hoses, etc. TRUCK: Purged fuel tank. Fixed shifter. Fixed rack pinion mount. Lubricated CV axles. STAY UP TO DATE BETWEEN PROJECTS on Social media instagram.com/sixtyfiveford facebook.com/sixtyfiveford SUPPORT THE PROJECT?
