Eurovan TDI Conversion: Crooked Deck

22 September 2015

Well, the block is back and reassembled. Unfortunately, the shop I took it to in Phoenix appears to have milled the deck unevenly.  

CylinderProtrustion (in)Protrusion (mm))
1 0.035 0.89
2 0.036 0.91
3 0.043 1.09
4 0.047 1.20

A second set of measurements gives another view:

MeasurementWrist Pin (in)Wrist Pin (mm)
Cyl 1 L 0.030 0.762
Cyl 1 R 0.035 0.889
Cyl 2 L 0.036 0.9271
Cyl 2 R 0.042 1.0668
Cyl 3 L 0.041 1.0414
Cyl 3 R 0.047 1.1938
Cyl 4 L 0.044 1.1176
Cyl 4 R 0.051 1.2954

The above table looks like this plotted, in case you were curious:

 

Note the chamfer in the head bolt holes near cylinder 1 compared to cylinder 4. The bevel on each cylinder is also very diminished, with cylinder 4 having almost no bevel whatever.

I'll have to think a bit about how to handle this.
