Here are pics of the block, with all 4 pistons/conrods installed:
Here is one of the reasons that the OBD-I ABA block is such a
popular upgrade - they have 4 of these piston oil squirters
(normally only found in high end turbo applications) from the factory:
Here are some shots of the valve spring compressor that my dad
and I made:
It works well. In the pictures above, you see it bolted to the
cylinder head that I will be using on top of the ABA block. There
are no valve springs or valves in the cylinder head in the pictures -
these are just to show the way it works. That little window cut
into the "foot" of the spring compressor allows access to the
valve keepers once the springs are compressed.
Here is a box full of the valves, valve springs, keepers, and
retainers that will be going into the cylinder head. They
are all stock.

Comments: Looks very interesting. That is similar to what I'm doing with my '84 Jetta diesel. Thanks for the information.
