Julien's G60 Rado - 16v Eaton M90 inside

[Julien 10]

Hi everyone,

 

As I couldn't more to ride a MK4 TDI, I decided to buy a rado for 4 months now.

 

So it's a 91' G60 with 137000Km.

It has all the classical options.

 

Unfortunately the day I bought it, I had an engine problem.

A very strong rattling came from the bottom and everybody guess the following

 

The cause was a seal of the compressor that was not in the good place.

 

Presently there are :

 

ENGINE :

- 16v gearbox

- JABBA stage 2

- 68mm pulley

- Outlet RS kit

- By-pass group A

- W6DPO

- SKF High Flow water pump

- FPR porsche 944

- VENAIR hoses kit

- KW suspension

 

INTERIOR :

- HI-SPEC phantom oil temp gauge/oil pressure gauge/compressor pressure gauge

- VR6 Intérior

 

EXTERIOR :

- VR6 front bumper

- VR6 hood

- Red/Crystal tail light

 

After a check of the engine, I had to change the crank so I decided to build a 16VG60 but after a moment, Idecided to replace the G60 by a M90 Eaton. I'm still building it and will soon post pictures of the parts...

 

Here are pics of the car few days before I got it :

Thanks.

I will update it as one goes along

 

So to check where does the rattling came from exactly I opened the engine block. As you can see, there was so much metal shaving...

 

The corrado during the operation

 

 

Then the block where you can see that the crankshaft is marked

 

 

 

Look at those con rod bearings...

 

 

The metal shaving...

 

 

As I wanted to do a 16VG60, I decided to buy a 16v KR engine to fully rebuild
