the lincoln since the snow has been scraped off

Carlsbergas

oh hell no.. i would never choose lincoln over 944 at that time I was waiting for waterpump and timing belt to arrive. couldnt drive it because of broken tensioner pulley

You cant see any signs of a broken torsion bar in that setup, I think you'll need to pull the torsion bar cap to see if you still have them.... Or you can disconnect the shock and see if the control arm goes through its full range of motion with no resistance...

LOL Lart....

Carlsbergas

ok thanks!

today ill start preping car for new mount installation. ill use a clarks garage diy for changing mounts. now the tricky part will be carrier mount replacement.
I didnt look closely enough. but I think ill have to get ac compressor out of the way and remove PS rack, will it make enough space for me to work there? or will I have to take of some parts of exhaust too?

Yea, its a pretty big job. Find a diy for a turbo removal and engine mounts... the only additional work youd have to do is loosen the turbo drain and the few bolts going to the block. Enjoy.

Carlsbergas

maybe I should remove the turbo, just to take a look and few measurments so I could identify it. that way I would probably get access to caroer mount from the top too

lee101315

Maybe you can get by without removing the turbo if you sneak the mount out from underneath... it wouldnt hurt!

Carlsbergas

if ill remove the turbo ill have to wait till tuesday when my gaskets and o rings will arive from LR
just checked diy on turbocharger removal on clarks garage, looks pretty much straight foward.

lee101315

a lot of things look "straight forward"

Youre going to have a great time removing the crossover pipe.

Carlsbergas

yeah I heard about x over pipe.. probably will be easier just to hook it up to the lincoln and just pull it out.. D

Carlsbergas

Was just flying thru disassemble, got stuck a bit longer than expected with heat shield, but removed it. Been having fun trying to get to few bolts on crossover pipe, they are tricky mother****ers!! Going to continue my battle with them tomorrow, its 4:30am. Time for me to get some sleep
