    any tricks to fix a leaky freeze plug?

    well he said the motor was rebuilt 20-30k ago...i wouldve assumed all that would be new, i guess they took a couple shortcuts. the oilpan had chaffed a hole at the pump, the motor mount was missing a nut so im guessing the motor torqued and wore the hole in it...pain in the ass to make right...

    any tricks to fix a leaky freeze plug?

    bolt in oil pan

    access it though the drain hole like he said or the oil cooler plug. try and jb weld a powerful mini magnet on the tip of a clothes hangar or something that can bend around. another thing, try an old speaker magnet and drag it around the pan and see if you can hear the bolt drag around inside...

    6x9 rear speakers in back seat side panels

    the sound quality over 5.5 round speakers will be killer...now if you did an enclosure with the 6x9's you couldnt be happer. heres my plan, itll look a little different, but atleast this way i have a place to mount the amp for the sub (still debating where to hide it and keep a spare tire)...

    turbo shaft play getting bad, what are my options?

    yea, youre the one that had the writeup from 05, great stuff there! i wouldnt call it a small amount of play, but its boosting very well, doesnt make noise and isnt getting into the housing at all, even when trying to move it by hand. why exactly did the turbine housing need to be machined...

    turbo shaft play getting bad, what are my options?

    Damn it, Im about to give up...talk me out of it.

    my guess is he went with an ebay seal kit after dumping all that money on the bottom end. check your oil a couple times a day and look for milkshake, as long as theres no coolant down there and your oil pressure is good, id leave the bottom end alone and just get the head re-done. im a...
