    Turbo don't like higher oil pressure!

    And for newer BB turbo's -4>-3 is fine and you can get away with a much smaller Return (down to -8) as they are restricted in the Oil inlet so don't flow much oil at all.

    Front cams for camber adjustment seized- UPDATED-both sides nearly done!

    Shaeff: Bit of a tip when you reassemble it buy a tube of antiseize compound and coat the camber pins before you install em! :) (man I'm glad we don't get snow)

    What should I do while the head is off to prevent more problems??

    VSV= VaccSwitchingValve Sometimes you can get lucky and the dampener will slide off once it's unbolted but most times you'll need a puller of some sort. (I've used a pair of crow bars to lever it off in the past taking car not to crack the timing cover)

    Severe vibration from rear of car

    Colin: Bolt torque is based on the Bolt material's tensile strength, thread diameter x pitch of the threads (number of TPI "threads per inch") the Head size has nothing to do with it ;)

    Severe vibration from rear of car

    Colin: Nope it's based on the thread size. Stock there are 2 thick washers one each side that go between the Centre Bearing carrier and the body. They'd be 4mm thick.
