I did not see that section let me check Ah I see it, that section is in the timing belt subsection

Do you remove it after or before you turn it to TDC or can you do turn it to TDC with it off?

One question, do I need to remove the crank pulley to take off the lower timing belt cover?

I am trying to take off the turbo but if I remove the 90 degree flange or O2 housing I will have better access to removing the turbo and exhaust manifold.

Well I finally got those off and disconnected various sensors and such, fuel rail, EGR valve, going to replace every vacuum line I come across. I did want to get to removing the head today but stuck nuts and problem solving prevented that lol. The oil is definitely mixed with coolant and/or...

I am talking about that but the 3 nuts on the flange are stuck that is what I am trying to remove.

trying to remove the housing from the turbo so i can pull the turbo out. would a butane lighter work? It's like a mini torch lol.

this downpipe is pissing me off I can't get the other 2 nuts for the O2 sensor housing, I can get a wrench in there but it's just stuck even though I have sprayed it many times with PB blaster and other types of sprays

Yea that has been the general consensus from what I have read. I also remember reading that it is recommended to not go over 0 psi for the first 621 miles or 1000km as I read it to let the gasket break in and such, that is true right? Good thing I live in Houston because it takes 30 minutes to...

I was thinking the same thing, I've been doing research on Felpro and it has been all great reviews.

Yea I have a Flepro gasket kit and will replace every gasket that I can when I start putting the car back together. I plan on spending a day with carb cleaner and a wire brush and just clean everything I can. I do need to replace my thermostat because the gasket inside of it where the spring...

The softline kit is for the turbo? Speaking of kits, I clearly see why everyone opts for an oil filter relocation kit because it is in the worst place I have ever seen lol.

ahhaah, I did that I used 2 extensions and a breaker bar to loosen one nut that is next to the engine or manifold but there is no way I can get a good grip on the other two from underneath. I have to use a wrench and try my best to loosen them from the engine bay. Tomorrow I intend on at least...

..... no, I have a BHG. I am stuck on how to reach those nuts on the downpipe maybe I need to spray some pb blaster from underneath on the nut itself. I have normal wrenches and a socket wrench, a ratcheting wrench would be very nice to have.

Alright I am sort of stuck on removing the turbo, I took off the nuts on the O2 sensor housing but where do I go from there to remove the turbo? Here is where I am at the moment

That makes sense. Thanks I will look for those parts and go from there.

Thanks for the info I will look into it for sure. I will be using ARP studs and that bottoming tap you were talking about, I just attach it to my drill and drill it into the holes and that is it?

Y'all are talking about the exhaust manifold bolts right? I am sort of confused thinking y'all are saying to make new threads for the head studs or the exhaust manifold.

What is helicoil? I did spray some PB blaster on the exhaust bolts twice before covering the motor and calling it a day, so hopefully those won't be any trouble. I plan on removing the turbo, intake manifold, and throttle body before removing the valve covers and taking off the head just to be...

I have a roll of vac line and replaced the ones I could reach awhile ago. I read on the forums and searched reviews of Felpro gaskets and they seem to be good. Like I said I do not plan on making any power on this gasket anyway I just need the car to run and far into the future when I start...
