Body/Appearance/Interior / water leak in cab!!!
SO I havent driven my car in awhile. I cleaned and vacuumed out the inside the other day and found out that my floor was really wet on the drivers side kinda by my pedals! where could the leak be coming from? I vacuumed up everything by the air cals infront of the window and that didnt do it.

Engine Tech / IHI turbo rebuild
How much does it cost to get an IHI rebuilt? A guy in town is selling two ihi turbos for $150. One needs a rebuild and the other is good. If i get the one rebuilt, can i still make a profit?

Engine Tech / weird noises, timing
So my first time actually driving my car today since the boport head went on and backing into a parking spot, my car just died. it started right up no problem. leaving school i went to start it up and it was making weird gulping noises for a few seconds and then fired up. I shut it off and started it back up 2 minutes later and it fired up just fine. On the way home it almost died twice. I have no idea what is going on.

Engine Tech / how to read top dead center?
So after installing my head i can feel the vavle train timing isnt right. When i put the crankshaft to TDC, im curious what angle i should be standing from to see the right reading. Should i put my chin against the fender pretty much or read it by just standing regularly. I can get a TDC to 10 degrees by just moving my head up abit.

Engine Tech / aluminum radiator 2.3t

Engine Tech / ignition timing 2.3t
What do you guys run with ignition time? Right now with the snout plugged in, im at 11-13 degrees. With my modifications, would it be better running more?

Engine Tech / need help, ignition pulley question
So i just put my head back on after 1.5 months and im having a hard time remembering which direction the white line on the pulley should be facing during top dead center. Does the white line on the ignition pulley points towards the cam pulley or the crank shaft pulley?

Engine Tech / for the life of me
I can not figure out where this hose goes. I took my head off 1.5 months ago to ship down to boport for a stage 3 service and now that i have it back after this long time, i cant seem to remember/find where it goes.....
