Removing exhaust manifold on a turbo 200

posted by  someone claiming to be dlot on  Mon Oct 14 12:53 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I just did this job on my 82 turbo. I recommend jacking up the motor a bit to make it much easier to remove the turbo and manifold together. You can't separate them until they are off the car. I used Timesert inserts on the stripped and broken studs my car had. They work great and they are a bit stronger than just going into the aluminum head. Also, you want to make sure you have all new flange type locking nuts for installation. Otherwise, you may have fasteners coming loose and causing the same leaking gasket problems. The exhaust studs are special steel alloy for the high temps. Make sure you put the correct side of the gaskets out. The metal side, sometimes they are marked UT. I did this job three years ago and it came loose because I didn't know about the flange lock nuts. I bought new ones from a metric supplier called Maryland Metric. Also Electro Fast in PA has these kind of fasteners. I put the jack under the motor where the alternator bracket bolts on. Take your time, mark things if you aren't sure and bag fasteners and bolts. I did mine over a few days because while doing this job I also did a few side jobs like repair work the turbo needed and I took the head off so I could repace the head gasket. Wish you well. The boost is worth it.
