noob turbo question

[Okay]

sorry but please bare with me. The turbo has a line going to the block and one going to the oil pan. Where does the third one go to? Pic would be much appreciated and thanks.

Third one? There are 4 ports on the turbo... oil inlet/outlet and coolant inlet/outlet. Oil is top and bottom, coolant is front and rear.

[Okay]

opps...forgot a port. Sorry, I'm just trying to learn things on my own and it's moving really slow . Is the area I circled in yellow where you connect the coolant inlet? Also, how come the headgasket is sticking out like that?thanks again

That head gasket is on wrong. If I'm not mistakin', ya that should be the coolant inlet. I'd suggest getting another head gasket.

[Okay]

thanks...the headgasket is new...since it's on wrong can I just rotate it instead of ordering a new one?

[capowered240]

How long has it been on there? I really wouldn't trust it after that. Just take the head off again and look at the gasket to see if there is anything wrong with it. If you think its alright then I'd suggest get a can of that copper spray on gasket stuff. Spray both sides of the gasket then put the head gasket back on.

[Okay]

The gasket was new when it was in and been sitting there for a year or a little less. I don't know if it's ok since i dropped a tool on the gasket and kinda stripped the silver paper part, about 1inch in diameter. How do you know if it's in bad condition...I guess I just get a new one.
