I have done all the fiddling I can think of with my engine, which is a 1.9l with the 1.6l hydraulic head. It is consuming 15W-40 at a pace of around 80 miles/quart. The cost of a rebuilt engine is just too much, and I want to do the work myself as much as possible. I've followed a few leads from the newspaper and the Trader with no luck. Does anyone have a tired 1.6l NA diesel in their parts stash that they are willing sell? I will pay a reasonable price. I would prefer to have a complete engine with all accessories and injector pump but will take even a short block to get started. One question about diesels: I know that there are 11mm and 12mm head bolts. Does my block/head combination positively indicate one bolt size or the other? If so, I would prefer that the engine I buy have the same size head bolts as my current setup. I am in southern California and am willing to drive a few hours to find the right engine. I travel to the Phoenix area about once a month. Thanks in advance Mike Snow 1982 Westy diesel
