If anyone has one, I need a egr block off plate and the egr cooler block off plate. My buddy that has the shop is away for the holidays.

thanks, lets hope it runs

heres a shot with the turbo mocked up.

thats what I thought, it was still on the crank, i was looking for a part thought maybe i forgot it.

is the crank key just the slot on the pulley to hold it from turning?

i am going to mock up the turbo tomorrow

yup cam caps tighten in sequence. didnt make the noise until I got both cams on. I did the intake first and it spun and made no noise. did the exhaust and spun no noise, put the cam gears on and spun and heard noise again, not sure it might have been the rear timing cover hitting something...

well didnt get much of what I wanted to get done today because I got to play the valve shim game. finally got them all in spec and put the timing belt on. and I had to cut the AEM cam gear bolts also (about 2.5mm like IJ said). one thing was troubling me though, when i put the cams on and...

well got the head on, had to wait for the dowel pins for two days. Here is a mock up of the covers. All went well, tomorrow will have everything bolted up and mock up the turbo and mani. not finished polishing the intake yet, maybe get to that tomorrow also. cheers jay

gapped and lubed, thanks

Iam putting a 2mm mhg in, so if I did the numbers right I should have the same clearane as the stock hg. I guess I can check it, found this in a thread: "You can check this when the timing belt is off by setting the cams so the valves are open on one cylinder and rotating the crank. If it...

I figured I paid for it, might as well trust it. One question for you, the pistons in the top postion come slightly over the deck, normal? I am worried the deck might be cut too much. He had to take 23thsd off, had some pitting.

the machine shop plasticgauged the entire crank with bearings, all were within tolerance. They also did the rods. They said "thats why it took so long", load of crap but he had the specs documented. They had the dam thing for a month.

Well, did the bottom end today. Only had a couple of problems, I was 6 for 10 in putting the pistons in with the ring compressor, never did that before but it was relatively easy. Put all the pistons in before putting a rod cap on any, had to take out 4 then 2 then I was good. Shimmed...

your right, just went back and looked and see the return hole. Oh well, just have to clean it good.

the filter mount is not a concern, have relocator kit going on with n/a bolt. the turbo oil drain i will just have to clean real good. thanks

Well the block came back, got the freeze plugs, installed them and gave it a shiny new paint job. two self etching primer coats, 3 coats of 1200 degree red, and two coats of high temp clear. Makes for a nice shiny block. oh yeah, assembly starts tomorrow. woohooooo

i got the whole kit and kabutal for 400 bucks. tranny slave cyl hard line soft line mounting brackets two piece drive shaft then i sent the n/a clutch and fw back and bought RPS, Clutch Kits MAX Pressure Plate w-Sprung Hub 6 Pad Disc Turbo 3200lbs, Torque Capacity 730 / Pressure...

Chris, I will in about 3-4 weeks. Its sitting in my garage waiting to get put in.

just purchased a R154 and sent them back the new turbo clutch and fw will be here next week. Figured I didnt want to waste the W58 tranny and new parts so I picked up the new tranny to hold the power.
