We're pulling for you, hang in there. I'll never forget a long time ago my car broke down and I ended up dropping the fuel tank and replacing the pump on some shabby North Hollywood street thirty miles from my house. I couldn't afford a tow truck back then so I went for it. Had it on jack stands and was draining fuel in some strange neighborhood where I didn't know anyone.
Long story short everything worked out okay but it's not something I would ever do again. Get this behind you and enjoy the car, the turbo truly is special.

so i sprung a massive coolant leak : )
that sucks
but, the brace is “in” still needs 2 more bolts. But it should hold the motor, for the 2 blocks to get it into the shop and finish what i have started.

Did you crack the coolant pipe having the edge of your jacking board underneath it?
Did you use the sunglasses as a cushion between the board and pipe?

you are correct. I thought it was one piece, it was not. Should have been supported on both sides. I will have to give it some more inspection once i get it on the lift.

You only want to pick up on the case with a notched block to prevent damaging the casting or other things. You will want to most likely pull both the coolant housing and water pump housing off the motor to inspect for cracks.

And possibly weld the coolant fittings in if that hasn’t been done to the car already.
