Decided to post this here as it can translate to FWD cars although the engine is going in my tacoma http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=293577 ....I was going to put an ALH in the truck but as fate had it I happened upon a killer deal for a BHW shortblock so I snapped it up and had to go 2.0 ....as you may have guessed it's not a direct swap by any means...the BHW has a BS module and no provision for the lower small idle roller...it does however have the threaded hole for the large idle roller....on this hybrid I'm eliminating the BS module and adding a hole for the lower small roller (among other things neccesary for the swap)
the beast
pulling the BS crank drive gear from the BHW crank in preparation to install the ALH oil pump drive gear
dang thing was tight...but after some heated persuasion here it is
OK getting the ALH crank sprocket off was a total PITA!...heat and lots of pressure on the puller...BANG!!...it came off
here's a vid of the crank gear install...looks like I really didn't need the hammer
the front seal holders...ALH on left BHW on right....to use the ALH four new holes have to be drilled in the block...the lowest two holes and the dowels already line up
using a transfer punch to mark the four hole locations on the BHW block for the ALH lower seal holder
