The joys of picking up someone else's project... When you start to find out what's missing/broken/damaged... Should have guessed it. Firstly, the turbo has two large internal cracks but I do have a spare hotside that looks ok, so might just look into swapping it.
After that I was cleaning some surfaces and noticed one exhaust stud hole was badly cracked and has the stud sitting on a funny angle, so I guess I'll need to do some research on best repair method for this, any recommendations?
I decided to stop work for a second and do something I should've done at the start, stocktake all the parts/bits and pieces I have vs need. It was at this point I realized there seems to be one of everything missing;
1 exhaust stud
1 exhaust gasket
1 valve cover acorn nut (unless it uses a normal nut somewhere??)
And the list goes on... So that's where I'm at, bout to drop some dollars and order all the parts I need and see about getting the stud rectified. I can see on one stud and manifold where p/o has just gone ahead with the angled stud and marred the nut/manifold and misshapen the gasket.
