Re: 94 1.9L crank
These IDI diesel's are interference engines, so with the crank pully sheared off your pistons and valves have had a party. IE they have been banged together and more then likely something is broken somewhere in the engine.
The problem is a common one in these engines, has to do with VW updating the harmonic balancer to a heavier one, but not making the crank any stronger to hold it. A stupid engineering problem that can only be fixed with either a new TDI Crank, or a bunch of machining. Its been awhile since I have read about the problem, but www.vwdiesel.net has more information about this if you like to read.
Not the news you were hoping for I assume, but look around for a new head, or new engine and fix the crank problem before putting it in.
