Good idea like in the thread another started a week or so ago but ****** dear for what it is dont ya think?
Is that a worthwhile bit of maintenance to do when I remove my head, stem and cam seals? Expensive parts?
Thanks
Gotta love the dog,LOL
Feed it headgaskets, you must have 20 in stock.LOL
Must be great working on a turbo that's so much more accesible than a ko4 hey!
bolt drain onto turbo 1st then turbo onto mani
On a side note, the funny story from the evening is as follows.
Get home, start fitting the oil return line and the gasket falls down somewhere in the engine bay. ****. It's grey so finding it in a black engine bay is next to impossible.
Spend an hour or so poking around looking for it. Nowhere to be seen. Stopped briefly as Dane came to pick up the hybrid from my yard, then eventually found it luring down on one of the heat shields.
Now, we have a new (and bonkers) labradoodle puppy, who has taken to sitting under my car (as she's up in the air). I suspect she has actually eaten some missing bolts that were under there - and aren't now.
I manage to poke the gasket out from where it was, and it dropped to the deck.
At which point the puppy promptly saw, and ate it (it was only a paper gasket). Amused I was not. In fact I went absolutely bonkers having spent an hour looking for the damn thing.
Then had to go to Bill's to get another suitable gasket.
****** dog!
This weekend? Im so there, let me know when and I'll pop over.
Good work man!
Well done, you certainly move fast, your oil will still be warm from your hybrid..lol
Nice work Welly, you do get things done quickly.
The missus is off for a week, so had to capitalise on having a WHOLE week to get on with no aggro.... lol
I only see my gf at the weekends so I have loads of time during the week for late night mechanics
It's just a shame my mechanical skills aren't as good as yours!
Welly 2 questions, whats the name of the turbine housing outlet flange, and I thought you was running a catch can, cant see it in your pics tho. What one have you got if you have that is.
I wasnt to sure if there was a name for the outlet either, thats why I asked. I was just thinking if you was having a custom downpipe made up what would they called the flange thats all as its a pretty strange flange.
Did you upgrade your breather hoses to Forge ones then, any links for the can you did have mate.
I suppose you would just called it a subaru/IHI flange then lol.
