Ok then maybe I should have asked for a definition of resurfacing first. My understanding of resurfacing (before) was to have the head and block milled or shaved or whatever you want to call it, and that lapping was above and beyond. Also I have heard, since I havent checked into machine work...

Ive had someone tell my that adding electric fans to these MK3's can cause cooling problems, especially at high way speeds. Has anyone had this experience or is it totally false? Thanks

do you guys swear by getting the head and block lapped like Reg recommends. Im looking for all your guys experience who has or hasnt had it don, but particulary, the ones who havent had that step and have miles are their motor as proof. Thanks

ok what is the VSV?

Well I dont know what happened but ignore that last post of mine cause for one reason or another im in the same boat the I was before. I dont understand because with my last post everything was back to normal except the revving up and then dying problem. So I checked into a couple more thing...

yeah hardwiring is not fun. I have did it on my 87 NA which did not have the wiring and it sucked and took alot of time and research into the tsrm. But its done and it works.

ok now that my code is gone I seem to be in time. And with the jumper off it advances as it should as well. And also my CPS is not maxed out like it was. I guess that code 51 was really screwing everything up because I changed nothing from my what I did on my original thread. I just went out...

Thanks again guys. I guess I can look into sending back these SST I ordered to do this job with. I dont think I'll be needing them now. With that note if you guys ever need any of the tools mentioned in the service manual I found the Co that supplies the tools. All you have to do is call and...

ok also i put a little grease on the end of the cranks and the inside of the pulley to help me get it on... Now im thinking this might have been a bad idea or is it? I have read that if there is a problem sliding it back on to lightly sand any rust off and use some anti sieze paste. What do...

Ok you guys are obviously pretty knowlegeable and I have yet to hear a definite answer to this question. I am planning a turbo upgrade to my NA and I need to know if the NA block is identical to the turbo. My NA only has 58000 miles and of course I would rather use my block then go with...

Man these forums are awesome. Alot of good info here! Thanks alot guys I appreciate all the help!

Can anyone please guide me on how to tighten the crankshaft pulley to the recommended 195 lb ft of torque without the crank turning on you? Any help would be appreciated
