I know there is ALOT of 7 bolt rebuild guides, and I have read most of them, so i know for the most part what I have to do. And i have experience with rebuilding motors, this is my first DSM tho. its a 1995 TSi AWD, i only paid 1900 for it.
So, I guess I just wanted to ask for some pointers? I know 7 bolts are popular for crankwalk and all that. I am just gonna do a legit stock rebuild and then start building a 6 bolt for my car.
I bought the car and it ran freaking awesome, then after about 50 miles that I owned it, it started knocking really bad. so i checked the oil and sure enough it had shavings in it, and it wouldnt pull at all, so im pretty sure its a spun bearing. Im guessing the asshole who sold it to me used a stretched rod and then put some super thick oil in it to hide the knock. My mistake, but i got big plans for this car. and i got a stellar deal on it.
So, anyone got some pointers with making sure the thrust setting is right, and setting the bearings right, anything else? mostly just wanting to say hi and what not haha.
