diesel engine
To anyone:
I'm looking for a good runing diesel engine that will fit an '82 rabbit. If anybody has one or knows a junk yard please let me know. Either reply or email me at [email protected] Thanks Jon

Why not get a turbo deisel?
 Or do you want to keep it stock?

TDs are a LOT harder to find, plus they are more expensive

throw a TDI in it... those aren't hard to find and they bolt right in. well you have to change little that is... there is a guy on VDUBVORTEX that has a complete step by step of how he did it...

Re: diesel engine
1982 Rabbit Deisel Pickup currently not running. Compression check came out 90 p.s.i. on #1 and 270 on the others was hoping it is just a blown head gasket.
While removing headbolts noticed the bolts closest to the camshaft gear were much looser than the others. Once I got the head off I noticed cracks between the valves on all 4 cylinders, is this normal or do now have the impending thrill of buying a reconditioned head?

Re: diesel engine
I posted a pic on here, not sure how to link directly to it but if you click "gallery" on one of my messages it should display.
Any idea how much a reconditioned head costs and is there a place to find one in the Atlanta area?
