I purchased an automatic 92 tsi longblock for my gvr4, i finally finished the swap today and tried to start it.. first thing i hear when priming the engine is this nasty starter noise like its grinding metal on metal extremely bad.. I look in the inspection plate and there is metal shavings and i can tell the flyhweel has clean metal showing. Now when i put the tranny on i noticed that the auto block did not have the pin in the crank to hold the fly wheel like my original motor did. when i put the flywheel on i removed the flexplate and the black spacer behind it so it was a clean flush surface.. also to note on the motor i received is that it did not have the same throttle body setup as my stock motor either..it had a throttle body like on a honda with a lip. hopefully i didnt get an NT motor but it had the turbo oil pan as well. oil feed was not hooked up but was not plugged either.
Also to note..the starter did crank the motor, i could see the belts and timing belt moving.
Any ideas here? did i do somehting wrong?
i have a feeling i will be removing the tranny to figure this out.
here are pictures of what i am talking about.
and also pictures of the injectors that came with the motor i put in.
