Wiring in a rev counter
As a general rule, the green wire would be the signal wire to the ignition, the reds are ignition power, and panal illumination. The blacks would both go to ground.

Engine doesn't tirn after torgue, the bearings and
Hi Mike, I have not checked the torque settings for you, but wonder if you've worked on other engine assembly before your VW? My first question concerns the crankshaft. Was it sent for grinding and was the work carried out correctly? Secondly; during the tightening sequence did you rotate the crankshaft during the tightening sequence? The main bearings should be tightened from the centre cap and work progressively outwards. Tightening should be carried out in steps, rotating the crankshaft as the bolts are tightened. As an example, if the main bearings are tightened to 65 foot lbs begin with a setting of 30 ft lbs and as each cap is tightened rotate the crankshaft checking for smooth rotation. If this method is followed and the crankshaft fails to rotate, recheck the bearing and machining size. When fitting the cylinder head use the same stage tightening, starting at the centre and using a spiral pattern, work outwards to the outer bolts. Regards John
