My cylinder head gasket seems to be going and is leaking coolant somewhere. I think into the motor since after it's warmed up, the car is burning coolant out the exhaust. It's definitely not burning oil smelling.
I picked up a turbo cylinder head as well as a 90+ manifold. Ontop of this I have a rebuilt and refurbished Garrett T3 turbo. I intended to reuse another pre 90s manifold but since I picked up this 90+ for free I might as well use it but I have a few questions.
The T3 doesn't exactly fit flat onto the manifold so I know either the manifold or the turbo hotside will need to be machined to have it lay flat onto one another. My guess is the manifold needs to be machined. Any ideas?
Additionally, I spoke to my friend Dave about all of this. The 90 manifold has a different size stud than what fits into the T3. Has anyone looked into it and have numbers on paper?
Lastly. I know the 90 manifold will slightly position the turbo in a different spot than before, which I confirmed with Dave. What braided lines have you or anyone used to mitigate this issue so the T3 can be hooked up and work great.
Thank you
