markspark71 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I have been searching for a known good engine for some timenow problem im having is that all the engines have already been removed so I cannothear them running, they have also mainly been stripped down to the bare engineand I want a full complete engine inc all ancillaries and turbo. I really don’tsee the point in paying out £ 1500+ for an engine when I don’t know if it’sgood or bad So after searching and reading many stories of this bad oilpump failure Im seeing that people are saying that the oil pump off the 1.9 tdiwill go on the BLB engine, doing this there would be no balance shaft oil pumpto go wrong . I do understand that the car may have more vibration when thebalance shaft oil pump is removed but personally I could live with this knowingthat my engine would be unlikely to suffer the oil pump problem. So have you done this conversion or know anyone that has?? What is needed to do this job ie sump crank work etc Please don’t just dismiss this theory I will be posting this same question on other forums so I geta good idea of the views on this theory I will not be cross posting any repliesgiven Thanks Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
