Just wait till off your p"s Problem solved.

This looks promising. Those flanges are way too nice! The days of thick head gaskets and low compression for turbo are long gone.

Check valves have a ninimum cracking pressure to allow fluid to flow. When jammed open it will allow fluid to flow all The time like you describe. It's the check valve

What is the cutout? Boost activated?

If you go there and fix it and it starts won't they want more for it? I would be more worried about the purple wipers. In all seriousness buying a non runner is a bold move, especially if you aren't experienced and are going to rely on internet diagnosis to move forwards.

It's the other thing then.. Next to the first bit. Seriously this pretty much can't be diagnosed online. Are you using a multimeter for testing current draw on the parts of the circuit or just randomly disconnecting stuff?

How old is the battery?

I highly recommend using the starter motor to undo the bolt

Turn the boost up to use more of the gauge. Problem solved

The obvious thing to do is set to zero and fire it up. But I would have thought with the bolts loose the cams will retard themselves. retarding an intake valve will pretty much never cause a problem.. But looking at the pic doesn't make sense. I've never run an engine with loose cam bolts so perhaps while running it out retarded then when shut down the engine turned backwards against compression stroke slightly and that's what you are seeing. In the interest of science turn the crank and see what happens

Is a lucky dip, chances are it won't be the same, it will be better or worse I guess worse

so he has to fix 5 things!

I always hear that kind of statement but never directly from anyone that it has happened to Has it ever actually happened?

With plugs though? Not the actual drain fitting?

Turbo block will have oil drain fitting and water fittings. If not you need to search de+t

What about pistons and rods?

I think taoatalk is gone man

That's too much of a change to be good but won't be catastrophic . Try it and report back.

Bold spam

Looks tidy. Need to get fan shroud back on there, as it is the fan won't work well

Just remove the bolts. Sounds like you reallly want to! Yes you will have to remove them to attach the pod, that should be fairly obvious. then sit back and enjoy the pointless mod you have just implemented.

Yep. So not sure what's going on here.

Bushed?

I like the fact you can look at yourself pooping. Good plan
