Some good progress today! Bought a new timing belt upper and lower cover and a canadian egr valve. I was also able to change the oil cooler gasket. Was a real pain in the ass but I got it done. Torqued that down and put a new oil filter on it.
How i'm going to route my piping. Going to get a slim fan and put it in front on the condenser as a push fan. Eventually going to have SS braided water lines so I can route the piping better and have space for a mishimoto fan shroud which is coming in the future.
Going to be tapping some holes for the wastegate bracket tomorrow but I have it mocked up so I can try and measure where to drill.
That's it for today, a lot of progress was made and i'm super happy! Will have a running car soon again
To Do List:
- Tap new holes for wategate bracket
- Fix stripped exhaust manifold bolt hole on head
- Torque down turbo water hard pipes
- Torque down exhaust manifold
- Clamp water lines
- New coolant/oil
Then should be start up time
