Some confusion about my motor swap. I'll clarify.

[scirocco.gtx@juno.com (Mark A Peele)]

If your Bentley says a 1986 GTI is 9:1, then it's WRONG. ALL GTIs from
1985 on are 10:1 or better and therefore require a knock sensor.

HT (1985 GTI. Jetta GLI) is 10:1
RD (1986-1987 GTI, Golf GT, Jetta GLI)  is 10:1 (my Golf GT was an RD
originally)

The motor I'm using is a 1.8l 8v from an '86 GTi. The engine code is RD.
It's
102hp and 9:1 compression. This is straight from the Bently Bible. I
won't
need a knockbox. I'm replacing the timing belt, tensioner, water pump,
rear/intermediate/front seals, oil pan gasket, waterneck gasket, clutch,
thermostat and whatever else I can get. Once running, a big cam goes in
along
with a throttle body. I think that's it. I'm sure I'll think ofg more
though.
See ya.

Frank

'82 8v
