Sorta fixed my oil leaking problem.. The downtube wasnt even in the block - the seal that was there was 1-2" back up the pipe and had old RTV smeared on it..so I'm ordering a new one.


Now after the head gasket fix. It doesnt idle very good, likes to hover at 1500 rpm.. (i can bring it down but it doesnt like to idle)

But it feels like your driving a lawn mower there is NO power. it takes for-ever to get up to speed just driving down the block from a stop. and when it finally does make boost its like 1/8" up on the boost side.. (2-4lbs??)

I keep thinking its the damn timing, am i wrong did i miss something here?

Also since i got it. It makes some sort of squeeling sound on startup coming from where it sounds to be the left side(driverside) of the block god only knows what that can be. Its not a slipping belt but sounds simular.

any ideas welcomed here..Thanks.

Oh yeah - and the sunroof is stuck open. ..Love this car.
