Geez Marc, you know how to make a guys hart jump a beat or two. Even though it's not my motor anymore I still feel it an extended part of the familey. I started to feel faint but glad to have kept going & read that the motor was OK(you should add a Phew emoticon).

But let me see if I can understand. So the starter teeth were extending past the flywheel teeth & binding obviousley on the top of the flywheel & couldn't return cause of the binding?[/quote]

Yep

?, if you make up a spacer for the starter will you need longer starter bolts?
& why did this happen?

the starter bolts I'm using are already long enough, no biggie there. I only need about a 1/4 spacer (which will put the starter fairly close to the oil filter, but not touching.

Had an impulse buy on an FMIC tonight, I really liked the design, vertical flow, dual in single out configuration:

Heh....So are you even going to bother with running it N/A or just go for broke now?

House, what house? :-D

Nope, Its Turbo Time! Pulling the heads when I suspected valve damage sealed the deal.

Alrighty, another weekends worth of progress. Thanks to Nate for getting me a set of extra headgaskets and other goodies real quick-like :woowoo:

I installed ARP 16v VW headstuds and stacked gaskets

Pulled the oil pan(s) and drilled/tapped for the turbo oil drains. Man, theres a lot of freakin bolts holding the pans up...



drivers side drain:



Passenger side drain:



I'm a little nervous about the passenger drain in the pan. Its really close to the oil level when full and I'm concerned about potential restriction in the drain line while cornering, etc. Apparently Nate hasn't had any problem with this(?)

oil supply line:




I also sealed off the nipple facing rearward on the drivers side valve cover to give more clearance for the master cylinder. The red powdercoat came out pretty good too:






Now I just need some manifolds and turbos

[SEStone]

Damn, it's like they designed bosses for turbo feeds and drains!

[WOMBAT]

[20v90q]

Looks Great! Nice, clean install. Now when are you going to spray some degreaser on those heads/oil pans? :-)

[Marc]

HOLY SHIT you really made some progress after I left GOOD JOB!!!!!!!!!!

I was determined to get the engine bolted back up before I left. I didn't get outta there until almost 10:30! Sorry I didn't stop by last night, YGM.

[birdmanmt]

Looks great! Are those just NPT-->AN adapters?

[Marc]

yep, 1/2" NPT to -10AN

[3bAudios]

holy crap man, that motor was on the floor still when i left. if i had known you were going to be bolting it up i would have stuck around!!! looks great man

[yodasfro]

Good stuff Marc keep it up 8)

[Derracuda]

i'm planning on sticking the drain in the boss above where you put yours in, in the block instead of the pan.



looks great though marc!
