UUUPPPDDDAAAAATTTEEEEE!
(read that in your best Richard Simmons voice)
Finally got some time to work on it yesterday and today. Got timing belt and accessories and everything off the front and back last night. Today I worked on the heads and exhaust. Pulled the air inlet from the passenger side turbo, and it looks like my car has made the decision for me that I'm getting new turbos. Housing had standing oil in it, and the cold side outlet had oil all up through it. Blown seal, complete with side to side shaft play. Told my wife about it, and turns out that she had already planned to buy me turbos for Christmas! She's pretty awesome. So looks like sport 500's are in my future!
Now I'm down to the bare block and oil pan. Good news is the heads are pristine, absolutely no pitting or signs of striking. Minimal soot as well. I'm actually pretty impressed with how clean it all is. Absolutely no damage. Tops of the pistons are perfect. No signs of gouging or anything. Shame, since I already decided on oversized, lol. Going forged anyways so it's all good. Only problem was a slight rod knock on I believe cylinder 1. We will see which one it was when I drop the oil pan and start on the mains.
Gonna send it off to the machine shop after I get it totally bare for the bore job and possibly try to find a head shop for a cleaning, though I'm not sure it even needs anything more than I could do myself. I'll snap some pics soon. We all know build threads aren't worth it without pics
