Hey!
Glad to hear you got the motor in. I would have come to help but I’m a bit far…
Why did you pull the motor? How has the car been running?

[LJS]

car was running GREAT---had a small oil leak----oil inlet on right side turbo
My bad---was not tightened correctly on initial installation
I detailed this in the SPRING thread
ALL this work to change 3 copper crush washers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS- THANKS for the offer to help----everone hates on us Silver guys!
he he he
PSS-
Did a COMPLETE nut-n-bolt with the motor out-ALL was good with the exception of that damn oil inlet fitting----going on 5 years since the build and some 15,000 miles of use.
Waste gate fine-cracking pressure right where I set them, NO other oil leaks, NO other screw-ups, vac lines an other plumbing all fine.....
I work REAL slow so it will take me a weekend to get her back to whole.

Just want to say kudos to you for still going at it at 72 years old. I'm 78 myself and still tackling those jobs on my S4.
