    Serious problem during assembly.. I am screwed?

    I got one piece of advice that may work. I was told to drill out the studs using a left handed drill bit. It should bite and spin the stud out. Has anyone got experience with this method?

    Serious problem during assembly.. I am screwed?

    Here lies the problem. This is the oil pipe from my turbo. I put the turbo on the engine yesterday. When I got to tightening these 2 nuts on the manifold (in picture), I tried torquing them to 25 ft lbs and the nuts just kept spinning... Both nuts are spinning. The studs must be...

    Harness wiring question

    I was inspecting my harness today for the 7mgte I am working on swapping. 1. On the left side of the picture are 2 black wires spliced together, with only a bit of electrical tape covering them. Should I splice these wires or are they arbitrary? Do I need to repair/change anything here...

    That's cool motorider, I'll be pulling mine this weekend too =) BTW, what is this ? Looks like a starter but bigger, I'm not really sure- on the topic of starters, will the starter in my 7mge work for my 7mgte swap? (86.5 MKIII)

    I mean the shaft that pulls out of the transmission behind the gear box. How do I remove the 4 bolts that surround the prop shaft? Thank you DJT, found the nuts (and tons of good stuff) on driftmotion =)

    I know I'm in a little over my head, I'm sorry, but I'm determined to work it out. I have looked at the TSRM upside down and sideways, I still can't find a section that shows how to assemble the engine PAST the long block stages. (all the pulleys, motors, fans, starter, hose junctions, etc!) I...

    7MGTE arrived today.. (pics+questions)

    So, the engine has a metal head gasket already with ARP bolts in it. the timing belt looks to be done as well. Can I just start throwing parts on one by one? How do I stop the crankshaft from turning? I want to torque the crank nut correct? ALSO, can I use my old starter? The wire is all...
