Wheel bearing and exhaust are finished. Love it! Can't wait to race with the 255-225 setup this Sunday
Pics dammit!
What have you done to your MSP today?

Pics dammit!
I just bought an impact wrench, battery, extensions and sockets. I'm going to tackle a few projects to revive my MSP which hasn't been running too well lately.
This weekend I'll be replacing the valve cover gasket, the oil pan gasket, EGR pipe, exhaust manifold gasket (actually, all the exhaust gaskets), spark plugs, PCV valve and some other minor issues. Then in a few weeks I'll move on to a new clutch, Fidanza flywheel, and new springs, struts and strut mounts. I'm pretty excited...

(lol) IMAGINE
No, I was going to use it for the exhaust work.
My assumption was that it provides too much torque for the valve cover & oil pan work.

i don't think so, but then again i haven't been on the site in a long time. i mainly just talk to cres directly.
true, but cres can't get fp internals at this time =/ if he could i would buy them through him.
So I was taking s*** apart so I can find whats wrong with the car and when I removed the hot pipe near the intercooler I got over a quart of oil pouring out, definitely found out where the smoke came from and where the oil went... Theres no obvious damage to the turbo so that still doesn't explain why I have 0 compression on my cylinder 4.. Now I'm confused. At least I know the head gasket is good!
0 compression on cyl 4 is a very seriuos problem. did u measure with a screw in fitting on ur comp gauge or just one of those wedge shaped rubber stopper ones?
It's a screw in and yes I know its very serious. I'm dismantling the engine right now to find the source of the problem.

oooooo post pictures when you find out what it is. i'm going to take a guess and say either cracked ringland or a hole in the piston.
If you've had anything come out of the engine like a piece of a piston ring or piece of a piston for that matter your turbo will not show immediate damage. You'll have to take the exhaust housing off and see if the turbine blades were hit.
