That's herr Tony Montana.

I'm just a wannabe pshrink.

 

FML. Pretty sure its naturally aspirated time.

 

Makes turbo kits, owns naturally aspirated cars. Seems legit.

 

Well, he's completed the MT.net cycle, I may not be far behind.

 

Nein! Wir mussen die turbo gehabt!
(Or however it would be said in a defiant German voice)

 

So I rebuilt my motor after blowing a freeze plug and over heating. I have been slowly been finishing up the car. Earlier in the week I filled the radiator with water so I could pressure test and look for leaks. There was a slight leak, but it appeared to be where the adapter connected to my TSE radiator. So I was not overly worried, no leak at the Q-Max reroute which is what I was worried about. Water level had dropped in the radiator after the test, but I figured it was filling the heater core and such. Topped off water again and put the cap on.

Last night I went to install a new crush washer on the oil drain plug. Pulled the plug and about half a gallon of water came out the oil pan. I assume I fucked up the head gasket, but who knows. I won't be pulling the motor until next week.

Pretty sure I am going to drop the stock VVT motor I have in a shell in my garage for the time being.

 

Come to the dark side of reliable silliness, Lars!

I think I have decided to skip the cycle and live vicariously through you guys.

 

Boo. Turbo or nothing!

 

Over the years wasn't it this very engine that gave you tons of issues? between the freeze plugs, spinning a bearing, and the oil starvation issues?

 

call trackspeed and get a block!

 

Believe me if I had the $5k I would.

 

See if he'll trade you a block for a few of your turbo kits

 

Kind of a desperate moon shot, but what about the oil cooler? It's a oil/water interface, and really the only bolt on thing I can think to check without having to pull the motor.

 

Not hooked up.

 

my fears all in one collected place.

 

You have fears that aren't in your build thread?

 

Sucks man! Now I'm afraid to start my motor.

 

 

No. This block has only had the freeze plug issue.

 

I can think of only 2 reasons for the pre-mix, 1 is hg like you said, the other is cracked head
