haha well it seems he took his motor out and is worried about compression so the motor must have some miles on it. all im saying is its a very good chance that they are almost gone and would be better to replace them now than take it out again to replace them if. If the motor has low miles on it dont worry about them. I never said if the engine is out the coolant seal are bad please read before you

Is that the only way to fix that little leak? And also, I took the engine out so it could be easier to rewire everything since it caught a little fire by the oxygen sensor. I have put MMO in it, and right now it seems to sound stronger. Anyways, has anybody ever cracked upper right side of the lower intake manifold? I put two bolts in, tighten just a little bit, and all I hear is crack! I take it off and about an 1 inch around the bolt hole falls off. By the way, is there a way to get just the oil inlet pipe on the turbo without buying a new turbo?

has anyone ever had to replace the vacuum hoses on the oil nozzles, and if so, where do they sell that little plastic piece at? Or is there a way you could make it? Also, what causes it to make a thump noise when you try to crank the engine over? Is it the starter being loose or what, because mine is not loose.

Hey, does anyone know how long the stock turbo should last under mild use, with 137,000 miles? Someone told me it last pretty long since it's water and oil cooled. And I am trying to figure out about turbo's. What do the letters on the intake wheel mean?
