    Cam Journal Caps, Wear/Scoring, ALH. How much is too much?

    The question is, what can you really do about it? If you line bored it, you will need some sort of bearing or shim to make up the new clearance once the scratches are removed. I don't think mixing and matching used cam caps would be a good idea unless you switched the head entirely. Why are you...

    TDI-XJ: 2000 Jeep 2dr Cherokee

    Re-glue the headliner, do a wheel alignment and why not drive it for a while? Once it's gone you are not likely to build another.

    Saskatchewan TDI members??

    I am not totally sure on the story on it, I acquired it with a lot of other VW parts. It looks usable, comes it injectors & lines, camshaft, intake manifold as well. Looking for about $200 for it.

    How to find where mice are getting in an MK4 (03 Jetta)

    The best prevention of mice is to leave "active traps" outside of any sitting vehicle so they never make their way inside in the first place. The best is a 5 gallon bucket with a small door at the top that leads to a internal rotating drum (covered with a little peanut butter).

    1st gen Tacoma ALH

    Did you have to do anything special? Lift the engine higher or lift kit? It seems most of the Toyota swaps are using a simplified mechanical tensioner because the A/C pulley hits the subframe I believe.

    1999 Jeep TJ Sahara TDI Swap

    Incase anyone has a similar question; in order to get the factory tachometer working all i have to do is temporarily ground the cam sensor wire that goes to the computer once the engine is running. I tried wiring a relay that grounds the sensor once the starter is engaged, but it seems that the...

    Should I keep building or just Buy

    I think at the end of the day you would have to go there and test drive the truck to know exactly how well it runs and is set-up with the TDI swap.

    Should I keep building or just Buy

    I would say that $7500 is a fair price, the tires and wheels are worth a lot by themselves. This deal might hinge more so on the condition of the Toyota body/frame rather than the TDI swap. There could be a lot of rust hiding behind the bondo repairs. But maybe you don't care about the cosmetics...
