I covered every inch internally and externally with Pb blaster and liquid wrench hoping for the best this evening. Wish me Luck. On a positive note the seats are in great condition and will look awesome in the Volvo.

Pistons rusted to the cylinder walls? Did you pour PB Blaster in the spark plug holes? I’ve also heard of using Coke or Pepsi to eat way the rust but you have to make sure to neutralize that stuff with baking soda once done or it will start eating away at the metal.
Or am I reading that post wrong?

Acetone and ATF makes a great DIY penetrating fluid. Guys have used it for years on barn finds. Even has been on Lifehacker http://lifehacker.com/5962934/diy-pe… . Its better than most commercially available products. I’m sure the EPA probably flips out anytime this gets posted on the web. I’m betting they are the reason nobody has marketed a version of the DIY mix.

Isn’t pouring regular motor oil into the cylinders supposed to help as well?

Another, more German option: The 20V 1.8t

It can be found in many B5 A4s and B5/B5.5 Passats in longitudinal configuration, and in the Mk IV GTi, Mk IV GLI, New Beetle Turbo, and a lot of first generation TTs in transverse configuration (however, I believe the transverse and longitudinal versions are fundamentally the same, except for accessory mountings).
Depending on the car, they produced between 150-220 hp (most 2001+ engines output 170 hp). They are pretty strong motors if properly maintained (the main issue is engine sludge, if synthetic oil wasn’t used, and wasn’t changed every 3-5,000 miles), and seem to take to mods pretty well.
I seem to recall seeing a few 924s with this swap done before (though I forget where), but it’s not nearly as common as an GM LS motor.
You would also get to say that it still had a VW/Audi motor!

true. I would like to keep the tranny I have cause why not, it seems to be in good nic, I'm sure I could find a way to mount it to this easier then a ls swap

I think the LS would be easier, due to the popularity of the swap (I believe there’s even a kit available).
I did find an interesting
thread
on Rennlist about a member swapping a 1.8t into a 944. It’s an interesting read.

Marvel mystery oil. Brought a 914 engine that sat for 27 years. I’m cautious about acetone as it will eat some plastics
