Amazing! Love seeing so much giving to such a great car! I only hope I can do as clean a job when I get my motor out.

Next decided to take out the turbo to check on its health, and all of the related components... check out this size of this thing The turbo was covered in grime, but looked to be in good shape, so I cleaned it as best I could One part that did need to be addressed was the coolant lines to the turbo, they were pretty corroded and had some pinholes due to rust Dropped the part in an old pot filled with CLR to get rid of the rust, then cut off the corroded portions and used a flare tool to recreate the flared ends ------ We were now entering the summer months, which can be pretty unberable here in Texas... so one of the advantages of having a tiny engine, is that you can put it on a $10 furniture dolly and roll it into your living room (I have a very understanding wife) Now I can wrench on the engine in comfort all while watching Roadkill! Next I took off of the timing belt cover in preperation for it's replacement As I also needed to replace the gaskets on the camshaft covers, I needed to take off the cam gears and timing belt cover backing plate as well Things were pretty grimy, and evidence of the oil leaking from the camshaft covers was evident I then reomoved the cam covers, and as can be seen here, the gaskets were beyond flat... in several areas they didn't even extend past the metal case. Oil easily seeped past the gaskets and leaked all over both sides of the engine.

I can't even read the build, the images are too huge!
