FJuan Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Ha, the only thing I use anti-seize on are sparkplugs. Everything else gets a dab of blue thread lock. My wife's balls are delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RooTBeeR Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Woohoo! Just got the new inlet tube, & I don't have work tomorrow. So I'm going to get a lot of shit done on that car. Got my torque converter service hole plug, and my turbo inlet tube. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/19/0027af2df5d735d503b4a21bc73564a8.jpg And no work tomorrow, so these will all be on there.

RooTBeeR Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 I'm not a fan of stickers, especially these noob stickers. However, I can have it on here but it will be hidden unless you take the intake apart... I really just wanted the extra 10 ricerpower. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/20/57e3d9f6e21dea3cf9bdd005caa36f32.jpg "Build" Thread <--Link (OLD) '05 EJ255 now a '13 EJ257 Bottom End w/D25 heads (NEW) Forever Slow [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RooTBeeR Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Are you done YET? This weekend. I'm not saying it will start, but it sure as shit will turn over. As long as this freaking thing is going down, I'm in no rush. Long as they get it done correctly.

RooTBeeR Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Looks like one of the banjo fittings on my turbo doesn't have any washers in it and is leaking coolant. Luckily I started filling the coolant into the turbo reservoir first so I didn't even get much in it before it started leaking. So now I gotta figure out how much stuff I have to take back off to get to that banjo bolt and get washers on it and tighten it back down and hope that was the only issue. I'm not even sure how they aren't any washers in there.

FJuan Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I don't recall any banjos for the coolant line, it should be all hose clamps. My wife's balls are delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RooTBeeR Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 I'll have to look better later, I could barely see. Now that I think about it, it was a big fast leak. I probably forgot a hose somewhere.

FJuan Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 There you go, I haven't had the pleasure of disassembling the turbo yet. Still rocking the VF40 with 150k miles, might be a Subaru record. My wife's balls are delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
