Diesel Jetta (vege oil)

Doesn't one of those books show you how to lock the camshaft?

Would've saved us a lot of words!

and how to lock the pump

and how to lock the pump

Syncro, i think we covered how to lock the pump earlier in this thread.

I'll have to work on my description skills.

Possibly, there might have been something useable in the manual, but If we disccuss it here it's even faster and better for people who have no manual or people too lazy to turn those heavy heavy pages and risk paper cuts, and I'm going to take pics of the whole operation and post em up in the manuals section, so we can all see it, still, or we can all hold our tounge and log off 8-)
but not as much fun !

Lets get the damn head off and end this speculation. Does anyone have a pic with dimensions of the damn locking tool and I`ll make one.

I reckon you are dreaming if you think the head is not warped or cracked. Remember, I have push started you car Edison and have seen the smoke out the back when it starts. Its a lot, even by Diesel standards.

Call me and we`ll arrange a time to rip the head off.

I reckon Syncros Diesel Specific book would be pretty helpfull too And he lives near you.

Here's the pump lock Matt.


I can't see anything about a cam lock.

I'll photocopy the relevant pages if you like.

I can make one at tafe easy peasy, I'll make more than one if I have the right dimensions....or a sample.... then you'll have one too

My head is warped and cracked thats why I'm on the pension... oh wait, you mean the car...

I reckon Syncros Diesel Specific book would be pretty helpfull too And he lives near you.

I shall sneak over in the dead of night....

Nice pic syncro.
Can you make one of them Edison?

Do we need to line up the camshaft when taking off the head, or just befor reassembly? Does it line up like a Petrol motor?

[brackie]

Use the locking plate before removing the head. If the flywheel is showing TDC and the cam lobes of #1 cylinder are pointing up slip in the cam locking plate, screw in the pump locking pin and then remove the belt and head.

[Edison]

Argh! I'm at tafe right now and could run us all up a few, but have no dimensions, or threading details, does anyone have such info?



Argh ! I want to make them, I can, easy peasy! but dimensions!!! and tell me if you want some for petrol engines loon, I can run them up at the same time, the plate thingy...
do they use ones like that?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

sorry, ahd to get that out....

CAM LOCK

1) take a piece of 5mm x 50mm bar, cut to about 100mm long
2) use a grinder (bench, whatever) and gently grind one edge to make the bar thinner so that it will JUST fit in the slot at the gearbox end of the camshaft, with engine at TDC #1 and the rocker cover off. use a hammer to gently tap it into place so if its a snug fit you can carry the head around without it falling out!

PUMP LOCK

1) Take a bit of 15mm or thereabouts diameter aluminium pipe, wall thickness about 1.5mm, cut to about 50mm length
2) use a hack saw to cut the one wall of the pipe along its length, so you may then bend it out to be larger diameter
3) bend it out so that it is slightly larger diameter than the locking hole in the pump sprocket.
4) tap it into place with a hammer
5) use a pair of pliers and brute force to remove it (actually very easy)


WHY ALUMINIUM? so if you forget its there, it will shear and not kill your pump when you turn the engine over

get that diesel going again!
