16v engine parts

[jslootweg 0]

I am currently doing a rebuild of a 1.8 KR 16v engine to go back into my Corrado. I want to replace the main, big eng bearings and the intermediate shaft bearings. I can't seem to find the parts on GSF under the Corrado car type. I was wondering does anybody know where I can get these parts from? As I think the stealers is going to be quite pricey for what it is.

 

If anyone has part numbers from where they got them from that would be helpful to.

You'll need to speak to someone at the GSF counter I think and possibly go through a catalogue, the bearings are essentially the same as any other 1.8/2L block but I would advise on buying components like this from VW, even though you'll be looking a 4 times the price.

I have used GSF big end shells on an old 1.5 block (just to keep it going a few more years) but there's been a few horror stories of people using pattern bearings on more high performance engines.

Whatever you do, DO NOT TOUCH the one piece bearing and thrust washer things GSF sometimes sell, they will destroy your engine, just have a search on Club GTI!

The genuine main bearings have a sequence of grooves too that equalise the pressure along the crank, some pattern ones don't appear correct in this aspect.

VW bearings for 1.8/2L 16v, 8v and G60 are:

OK maybe I will just bite the bullet and go to VW as this is a turbo block i'm building 8)

Is there such thing as an intermediate shaft bearing? The guy at VW reckoned he couldn't find one one ETKA. Anyone have a part no?

 

I got all my other bearings just need this one then i can start rebuilding 8)

I think it should be the 'Guide ring' part no. 027 115 033 at the pulley end of the shaft
