Well I waited to long. Happened to be on the way back from the auto parts store with the head gasket in tow. Got a block from my house and the car started missing really bad. I pulled into my driveway and drove the car up onto the ramps. Quickly I drained the oil to find it full of coolant now. So the head gasket is no doubt gone now. I pulled the oil filter as well, should I yank the oil feed/return lines for the turbo?

I'd rather not have to replace that too.

Anyways I'll start taking the engine apart on my days off, I'll assume it would be wise to take the head down to a machine shop and have the valves cleaned/head checked correct? I figure it's pointless just to slap it back on.

Final question before I start my planning. What is the best way to remove the turbo/exaust manifold? Should I disconnect the header downpipe and then just pull the manifold of the head? Do I need to take anything special off of the turbo to get it out?

Sorry for the stupid questions. I've only remove the head from an' old 80s mazda pickup. And that was as simple as removing the intake and exaust manifolds and then yanking the head off.
