I remember reading a few people who had a blown hg with no symptoms at all other than what you and I experienced.
I do have a lot of condensation that leaks out of the mating surface of the turbo-to-manifold, #4 cyl exhaust manifold broken bolt, and the tailpipe. Could I just be seeing condensation build-up in cyl #1 and on that plug? I'm kinda doubting that, though.
I remember Anders (Swedecar) posting pics of the different head bolts, and marking the ones to buy. Do you remember when he posted that pic?
I don't have a Haynes for the 9K; I've used everyone's knowledge and tips from this board. Guess I better go pick one up. I've only seen them go as high as '95. Is that good enough for my '98?
Anything else I should do to the engine while in there? It's got 84K on it. Is now a good time to do the heater core (meaning stuff will be out of the way)?
Grrr, such a bad time: am still recovering from surgery, my 900 is dead with a shot fuel pump, and am trying to finish my kitchen with whatever light stuff I can do (due to my recovery)...
