Engine Overhaul Questions....
I got a couple of questions that you guys can help me out with. The platform is a 1996 A4 LT1.
Timing cover... Im going with a electric water pump what timing cover do I use a 1995 0r can I use a 92-94 also?
Pull the engine or cam swap with it in there? Im disconnecting the tranny to put the converter in should I just pull the engine and avoid the leaning process?
What gasket work well with the 1 3/4 EM Long Tubes?

Yes
The waterpump drive shaft hole...
And the crankshaft sensor hole if he runs a double roller timing set like he was planning.

I'm going to change heads and cam on my son's 96 in a couple of months and I'm pulling the engine to do it. That way I can install a new timing chain set, degree in the cam and have better access to the head bolts. While it's out, I can clean the engine compartment too.

You are right I am going to a double roller timing chain. They say I have to get rid of the OBDII crank sensor. Qoute from 400rwhp thread.
"The Cloys 9-3145 chain is a good one - BUT...
Your going to have to lose the OBDII crank sensor and have the code programmed out when the tune is done. "
And the OBDI 1995 timing cover doesnt have it I was wondering if the 92-95 all use the same timing cover.

The link you posted doesn't seem to show me a pic,
I can not see any reason that your 96 cover wouldn't work,
You would just need to plug the Crank position Sensor hole in addition to the waterpump drive hole.... Also you will need to scrap the CPS sensor and have your PCM reprogrammed if you are planning on running an older style double roller chain!

Does mine look the same as these? (minus the modded one on the right)
Can I use my timing cover and mod it like the right?

The only thing you need to get rid of is the reluctor wheel that mounts in front of the crankshaft gear. You can leave the CPS in place in the timing cover even though functionally it won't be doing anything other than plugging the hole.

- Yes they are '96 covers.
- Yes yours will look the same.
- Yes you can mod yours.
- No, you do NOT need to ditch the crankshaft position sensor (CPS), you can leave it bolted to the cover eliminating the need to plug the hole.
- You must get rid of the crankshaft reluctor ring.

[QUOTE=96GS#007;1569051399]Nice I hope this will do it. And the sensor doesnt protrude into te inside of the timing cover to "sense" the reluctor wheel? Hense messing with the double roller.
