What about an oil filter relocation kit?

the adz is a great motor for a cheap and easy upgrade. good head for mating up to a stock carby manifold.

probably what i will end up doing,

more problems with the conversion, while looking over the engine arrangement i noticed the the alt is running off a multi-V belt, and the alt is the tensioner for the air con pully

the water pump is tensioned with the power steering pump, as you are all well aware,

i'm not running the power steering pump so i have nuthing to tension the water pump pulley, if i run the new alternator

how have people got around this, run a dry power steer pump?

I think you can change the waterpump pulley to a VR6 one and run it off the serpentine belt, that way you don't need the other belt at all. You'll need a different length belt though.

We're discussing similar issues over here http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/newf...ad.php?t=18077

i can't run that setup! the alternator will collide with the radiator in the B1,

golf loon, how'd ya get around this custom pulley's?

[Nick_80]

we'll the conclusion to this is the old alternator setup, with the old crank pulley, and a custom made water pump pulley!

i don't think i have many other options, or this been the simplest!

you can run a power steer pump, but not dry - it needs fluid for the bearing as i understand.

if you pull apart the pump and remove the vanes, you can then run it without it pumping - it just turns round and round - fill it with fluid and cap the hoses.
