Thread: ILoveAudi's 98 GTP - Turbo Hoopty

The tear-down started earlier this week. Not sure when I'll have it done, but I'll start posting up pics as soon as I get some good progress made.

I'll just leave this here

I'm really just waiting on my lifters to come in the mail, then I can reassemble. Ordered a bunch of new gaskets this time around, instead of reusing them lol.

The rear rocker arms are already off, just not before this pic was taken.






Random pic of the motor from the Mustang after a fresh rebuild and plenty of goodies have been added on.

Lmao, at least this way I get to learn along the way. If it weren't for all this unnecessary work that I've done on this car then I wouldn't know what I know now.

$2500 extra was a lot at the time. Hell, it still is. Lol

About 1500.

Pulled my rear header off today and this is what I saw. Lol

legit air flow restriction you got there.

dont forget to dab some rtv in the corners first, then the rubber ends and the lim gaskets, then another dab of rtv on the corners again on top of the rubber and lim joints in the corners.

Lifters in john?
