  1. Not yet. Was wondering if there was something I could use other than buying a spacer tool
  2. Just finished putting the timing belt on along with all the pulleys and cam sprockets. Was wondering if someone could take a look at the attached photos to let me know if I did this right before I pull the pin. One thing to note it appears that there's an extra line in the belt on the left side intake. I think this was an error during Manufacturing. Any help would be most appreciated. Also let me know if I need to submit any more pictures to get a more definitive answer. Thanks so much again
  3. I ended up using foaming engine degreaser and plan to spray the hell out of it and let it sit for a few days to dry
  4. Hi All I'm putting together my new engine post turbo failure and I was wondering the best way to clean out the stock black plastic intake that I would like to reuse. Since the turbo let go and sent bearing dust throughout the old engine, I'm trying to figure out how to effectively clean out the intake. All suggestions are appreciated. Tom
  5. I didnt really think bout it but you may be right as the plug may have some pre applied thread product on it already. I guess ill see what it looks like when I get it.
  6. Hello I'm getting ready to add an oil pressure gauge to my 09 LGT and the sensor is extremely big so I'm going to put it in the back of the motor by pulling out the rear oil Galley plug and adding an adapter for the sensor Is it okay to use three Bond on the threads or should I use something else to seal the threads?
  7. Hello all. I'm in the middle of a build and I'm trying to identify these two hoses that are coming off the top of the old block. One appears to be coolant and the other may be vacuum or emissions? Wanted to get the OEM numbers to replace them. Thank you. Tom
  8. Hello All So we are putting together the Type RA motor for the 09 LGT and we are getting ready for hoses. Was wondering what everyone's opinion was on OEM vs aftermarket (rubber or silicone) hoses and clamps. Any input is appreciated. Thanks
  9. Just sent him a PM. If you can please send me his email in case he does not check his messages here often. Thanks
  10. I just spoke with the tuner and will be scrapping the FP turbo as I don't want to dump more money into the fuel system at this time. As per his recommendation we will either go stock or a with a 52. Will go with the 10mm oil pump as the tuner basically said we can use either one (and I already ordered the 10mm). As for the head gaskets as per his direction, I'm going to have headgames do a little combustion chamber work when they clean out my heads which will allow me to run OEM gaskets. At this point I just want to get the car back up and running as soon as possible. Next step is to find a good place to get a turbo. Will prob make another post regarding new/rebuilt turbos and recommendations on where to buy. Thanks so much for all of your input.
  11. Thanks for the link... If I decide to change my mind I will go ahead and get that one... Still trying to figure out if I should go with the 11mm pump or stick with a 10mm.
  12. I'm looking at skipping the oil heat exchanger because I will need to buy a new one as my current one is filled with metal turbo bearing material and they are pretty much impossible to clean. When seeing how much these things cost I remembered reading that some choose to delete the item for more clearance and better pressure. Some claim that the oil actually runs cooler at running temperature and the piece actually functions as more a heater for startup. I figured that maybe I can save a few hundred dollars while making it better.
