Alright update on my project is as follows:
Head is in machine shop getting valve job, resurface, BB and hot tank...etc Ive got my walbro pump to put in tomorrow, head studs and head gasket as soon as I finish scraping the block of the old gasket (any suggestions, Im using razor blades
) I have to get new exhaust manifold studs cause all but 2 pulled out with the bolts as I suspected the would :x Got my intercooler Im going to mount tomorrow after i do the fuel pump. I am waiting on Aaron to ship me my oil/coolant lines for the turbo and my 3" DP :twisted: I removed everything a/c related under the hood, and am trying to see if theres anythign else I need to do while I have all the space available. So now for the questions :lol: Im going to clean out the intake manifold with acetone but i want to remove the EGR system...are there any good posts or site that have any kind of faq for it? Is there a good way to clean out the threads in teh block for the ARP studs? What is the recommended torque for them if I use the moly lube (and how much should I use), and should I only put it on the threads in the block or should I use it for the upper threads where the nutts go to? Do you guys use BPR6ES-11 plugs since they are one range colder? if so what gap are you turbo guys running? Are there any good spots online to find good OEM replacement gaskets/bolts/fuel filters...etc?
I think thats about it fo rquestions. Thanks a lot! Everyone has helped me a ton with my turbo 6M project so far, I hope to have it finished in about 3 weeks (consdiering I need custom exhaust and IC piping..etc)
