    Condensation

    Can you get condensation in your engine a couple days after you've ran it and showed no signs of it before? Also how long should it last in your engine till you stop getting stuff under the oil cap?

    Before I pop the head off...

    I just wanted to make sure that milkshake in your oil cap means definitely a BHG or can there be other causes (besides a cracked head/block). The head looks like it's been machined before so the HG might still be ok but there's no way to tell how long ago the work was done.

    Arp bolts vs. studs

    I was just wondering why studs are said to be the better option. Also how tight should I "hand tighten" them?

    Disassembling Seats

    My 87t came with some cool seatcovers. I going to sell the 87 but I want to keep the covers and switch em with my 89, but Im not sure how to take the adjusting wheel that reclines the seats back or the head rest. I haven't tried just simply pulling them out in fear that I might break something...

    Code 21

    So I just bought a white package 91 turbo with the check engine light on. I got it into diagnostic mode and came up with code 21 which is oxygen sensor. Are these available anywhere? Are they hard to replace? Sorry I'm new to this particular problem.

    too tight?

    Is there such a thing as torquing the cams down too tight, that it makes the engine die/hard to start? or should I smack cousin?

    diffrence between w58 and r154

    I recently bought a 5 speed turbo, and found out I can start it without pressing the clutch in. So now Im thinking the previous owner might have done a manual swap. And if he did, Im wondering which one of the two he used. Is there any visual way to tell? edit: I spelled "difference" wrong...
