Picked up the missing "oil control jet" aka piston squirter at the local dealer. It was $13.25. Tonight decided to drop the crankshaft into the bearing cradle. Got a bottle of "No Smoke" to use as assambly lube. This sucker is as think as honey. Used it on my Passat when the camshaft had to be changed. Lubbed up all the main bearings and the crankshaft and bolted the two halves together. My little guy helped finger tight the new cradle bolts, then I snug them down just enough for the cradle halves to touch. The crank spins nice and freely in the new bearings. I will torque the bolts down next time I work on it and then install the 3 connecting rods.
