So I'm building a stroker engine with a TDI block and crank. I have an aby for parts eg head and bits and pieces. I have the bottom end built with forged rods and pistons and I'm at the point where I'm sizing up the oil pump, water pump tensioner and belt setup.
So what I have got is an aby and 3b water pump, an aby tensioner, an aby oil pump and TDI oil pump. I checked out the TDI oil pump and it had no noticeable damage or ware so I fitted it to the engine. I'm not sure if its the same as the 3b oil pump but the TDI one has a part that allows an idler or something to bolt too. There is no cast alloy guard part on the TDI pump also so the bottom of the belt wouldn't be enclosed.
The aby oil pump has a cast part that covers the bottom of the belt. The aby oil pump also doesn't have the part for the idler.
The aby water pump is fixed and doesn't move. The 3b and TDI pump moves to tension the belt. The aby has a separate tensioner that would require me drilling 3 holes into the block which would go into the water jacket so I would lock in some studs with sealent if needed.
So what I'm trying to figure out is the 3b oil pump and idler setup to see if its similar to the TDI one. Also I need to see what part I'm missing or if I should swap to aby stuff and drill the block.
So what have others done for covers, pumps, belts and tensioners?
Cheers des.
