It's Begun

[MikSchultzy]

So you are building a motor because you have a blown head gasket ?

And to rebuild it to "Start Fresh". Car was bought used and I don't know what else the tool before me did to it. Rather than worry about future issues, gonna build it.

Are you pulling the entire motor out ?

the reason I ask is because there are a few tricks that you might be interested in knowing about pulling the entire engine out of there with the tranny attached to it without taking the turbo assembly and intake manifold out .

Good luck

Any tricks/tips anyone's willing to forfeit - I'll definitely lend an ear to.

And yeah - that was my server Bob. My host upped my cost by tenfold (literally), so I jumped ship on them - and they deleted all of my files before I could pull everything off. I was somewhat fumed over the entire mater. :\
