I’m doing a full tear down. Check the bearings for excessive wear. Check the cam lobes for excessive wear. Varun said the compression was fine when he checked it. After that things like oil pump, water pump, timing belt, timing tensioner and all the gaskets will be replaced. And before anyone ask I’m going to do a metal head gasket and head studs when I get the bigger turbo in a couple months.
Most excellent. :tup:
what gasket are you planning to use? i know alot of guys were having issues getting metal hg’s to seal on these engines, seems like more ppl had success running an oem gasket with some copper spray and arp’s. you most likely alrdy know this, but ya
and id say just put it in and fire it up, get in running any everything first, if you end up having issues then rebuild it, or wait till it blows up, then rebuild it
For now I want to run Fel-Pro gaskets. A lot of people seem to have issues with the metal head gaskets because they don’t follow a proper torque sequence.
