I came across a little problem, the original gasket for the throttle body has a larger center hole than the new one. Should I just leave it that way and put it on or cut the hole to size?

Cyfi6 I want to kiss you, I checked my TSRM and couldn't find that. I just realized I don't have the online TSRM bookmarked on google chrome, done.

I need help finding a part number for a hose, the hose I need is shaded in gray it's underneath the thermostat housing and connects to a hard line that runs along the head behind the exhaust manifold. I think this is the hose I need but I wonder if it's cheaper at the dealership or somewhere...

Today I put on the intake manifold, EGR valve, exhaust manifold, AC compressor is back on, timing belt and tensioner replaced, lower timing belt cover is on, and the turbo is on but I just put the nuts on the exhaust manifold that holds the turbo. Tomorrow I am going to try and get more done...

I got the new intake manifold gasket on and put 2 nuts on the manifold just to hold it in place and I remembered the EGR valve goes in that tiny space, so I am figuring out if I have to put anything on before the EGR valve other than the gasket of course. I wish I took more detailed pictures of...

I removed the crank pulley and the timing belt cover is loose but the AC compressor bracket is holding it in place, do I just remove the 4 long bolts on the bracket then I can remove the cover? I have 3 bolts out so far but the last one is a major pain in the ass Never mind I got it off and...

Oh I read they were NGK platinums lol

The only belt that is on is the power steering belt, so I guess I am good to go then. I'll be doing this later on after I get something to eat.

Yea I have been using NGKs ever since I started driving a car lol but from a quick search it seems that copper plugs are best for boosted motors but they wear out quickly. Stock, our cars come with platinum NGKs so I guess I'll get that since they are easy to find lol. I have read that people...

Thanks for the info.

Finally put my head back on and torqued it to 90 ft lbs

Update: The head is on at the moment and found out the hard way that you have to put the head on first then the ARP studs but then I found out you have to put the washers in and then put the studs in. So right now I am eating and will fix my mistake in a little bit but here is a pic of the head...

Will do, thanks. Hopefully my friend's impact wrench will work so I can change my timing belt. I have a feeling I am missing something because I am pretty much at the point of putting it back together lol.

So after I fix the head gasket my PCV should be fine? I'll clean out the pipes best I can.

When I removed the metal pipes around the 3000 pipe there was a drop of oil/coolant that came out and landed on the 3000 pipe. I posted a pic earlier in this thread I believe probably the first couple of pages.

but is it something I need to worry about or is it just normal without a catch can?

Lol damn, I have heard of people using 6-10 ft poles on breaker bars or wrenches to break those bolts loose, one person used literally like a 15 ft pipe to break his loose lol. I just got word that another friend of mine who lives 2 minutes away has a portable snap on impact wrench, :D needless...

I just noticed my cams might be quite turned the right way

Here is a pic of the cams back on the head

Well I tried taking off the crank pulley but I broke an adapter for the breaker bar then I tried the 1/2" 3/4 socket and it did not budge at all even had my older brother try and it did not work break loose. I need an impact wrench. The timing belt is still in good shape no cracks or anything I...
