what am i best doing???

Post by pistol pete »

right well i am half way through doing the hose from hell.. and kinda all going wrong to be honest...

These are the problems i have..

all cat bolts are snapped so need to take the pipe off the turbo down....
got some oil leaks on the car..
i.e. cam covers and not sure where else..
also cam belt has not been done since 2003 by the looks of it and the engine runs well just looks a mess...

also some dodgy manual controller to up the boost whoch i want to remove..

am i better off sticking with it as it is and scrapping knuckles.. or remove the engine clean it all up.. sort everything out on it while its out the car and re - fit???
