A 86.5 Timing Belt / Water Pump Picture Thread from a first-timer

Quick update January 27 2014
I write this as a reference to others who wish to remove the remnants of their carbon monoxide (CO) test port tubes from their exhaust manifolds and plug them with a bolt. This is for 85-86 cars.
I went to the hardware store today, and found out that we are looking for an M14 bolt with 1.5 thread pitch. I tested both the M14 bolt and the old CO tube by threading each into an M14 nut.
The old carcass of the CO tube, with the new bolt, is pictured below.
The new bolt is, as you can see, too long. I will be cutting them both down to size.

Edit: for the S4's. Do what you are doing on the earlier ones.

This is a great thread. Im doing the exact same work RIGHT NOW on my 86.5. JUst took everything off the motor - now starting to put the new items back on. The tips are super helpful.
