Yo. in the process of changing turbos (stock), need a couple of pointers pls. The turbo drain gasket, would it be ok to cut another out of ACL oil joiner gasket paper, or does it need to be some special gasket material to handle the high temps I'm guessing it will cop due to being on the turbo? as in, paper is probably going to overheat and catch alight and burn my car to the ground which is not what i'm after. Also where the hell do u buy copper washers from? Went to a few auto and bolt stores, and could only find those crappy prepacked ones that were all wrong sizes. Nissan wanted 36 bucks for SIX copper washers (get the farrrrk out)...

i dont think the turbo drain will catch fire, it is connected to the core which has coolant running thru it, so use the paper based one, its the dump that you dont use a paper one, its a soft alloy of metal i believe, should be able to get copper washers from a bolts shop, even a place like diesel spares would stock that stuff, the kudos package looks like what you need and at good price and good to deal with too. ;)

thanks for the offer Kudos, I have ordered from you before and your service and prices is top-rated and quite precise, I would not feel bad being taken by you in the shower if we were in prison together. Just that I am now unemployed and trying to do this shizz as cheap as possible as I have no work, although I was thinking of advertising as a transporter if anyone wants any cargo moved...no questions asked or answered.

and to the other dude, I know i should be able to get that from a bolt shop right? and it was doing my head in, everyone saying nahh mate, don't have any....I'm like why you holding out with the copper, just give it up dude, bring it in with my sizes n shit. Seriously wouldn't mechanics n that being needing copper washers on a daily basis, and in more than just 6 prepacked imperial sizes, come on get with the metric system. So would like to know where the copper washer warehouse is that I am completely unaware of. But I have taken certain liberties with a quiet friday night and the paper gasket I cut out, and pulled out the high temp copper gasket goo and smeared a thin coat of it over the paper gasket I carefully constructed and have it hanging up to dry. Booyah in the morning I have a heat proofed gasket ready to go.

      I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up

      Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
