I have a pan if you need one, but really some common sense should be applied when driving a car in an unsafe condition, your gonna kill yourself or someone else


Carlos, your phone fall in the toilet? Or you have a change of heart.....

So you mean to tell me that the oil pan was not designed to support the weight of the engine on the frame? My world has been turned upside down...

probably ill get a new pan with a 3peace crossmember and crossover pipe, I dont know, maybe its because I did this job for the first time but removing turbocharger was PITA I mean geting crossover pipe bolts of, the turbo mount bolts the long and short allenhead bolts came off without an effort, I did "wake them up" like told on clarks garage,
I wish I knew this when I was removing cam tower and broke my allen head inside the cam tower... was extra fun. one of the mistakes was to use ball end allenhead tool another not waking the bolts up
but I like to say: live and learn!

if it wouldnt move vibrate and grind metal to the metal it should be ok

Carlsbergas

yeah common sence should help, but being blind doesnt.. I was under that broken mount 100 of times while trying to figure out why my crossover pipe is touching the steering shaft.. guess im that kind of noob.

Carlsbergas

after few days cracking a phone screen.. 800$ down the drain o well time for ne phone.
engine is siting on two mounts!
now waiting for tommorow to get my exhaust gsskets and o rings

You will want to put that heat shield back on. It keeps the heat from the turbo from cooking the grease and seals in the U-joints in your steering shaft (if it hasn't already).

Carlsbergas

ahh.. great another headache when I riped it ofd I ripped it off so its not usable anymore

took out headers for new gaskets, wrap is brittle if I remove it will I notice any performance loss?

David Floyd

Look like Billy Boat exhaust manifolds.. I have the same, you can go to your local parts store and buy new wrap if you want.

I like to wrap mine, some people do not.. both ways will work.

Carlsbergas

yeah I have full 2.5inch billy boat exhaust system I think.

now I just had short term memory loss gaskets go like left or right?

Like the top, steel towards the manifold fiber towards the head.
