3.3 964 turbo engine removal
hi
over the festive period my car developed the dreaded "flut flut flut" noise on tick over from especially underneath the car and when switching the engine off sometimes could be heard just before the engine came to a halt!!..i had been running the car now at 1 bar boost(peaking slightly above then resting at 1 bar) and with a cat bypass pipe fitted..
after checking the usual,when i removed the lower cam cover i found 2-off in total head bolts with part of the broken stud in them which have snapped and fell into the cover,,i will obviously have to now remove the engine to start with to start a rebuild,,i have always done all my own maintenance on my cars but was looking for to start with the procedures for removing the engine on this model,,car is a 1992 3.3 turbo with 94,000 miles on the clock and was bloody pulling like a train before and even now!!!
advice from yous more than welcome,,cheers!!

When you rebuild use ARP or Raceware headstuds, that was your problem, weakest link. While you rebuild you might want to replace the con rod bolts as well with ARP or Raceware, these are also a weak link.

Nothing to hard about the removal, but it is a large lump of engine ! i have a 2 post ramp and a hydraulic table which made removal a fairly straight forward, oh and i'm fitting ARP rod bolts and head studs, the head studs are very nicely packed !

I think you will have to import them from the USA. I would buy them from Stephen Kaspar of www.imagineauto.com
