Well - It was worth plowing through all this if only to get the copper scraper idea.

Yea, I did pull the LIM on my NA only to find the aux port sleeves were not stuck (only the rods were), and it took nearly 3 hours to scrape the LIM gasket off the housings.

 

That's why there should b war-threads or something. I mean, heck, I read this entire thread only to read people arguing about who's a better mechanic... i can take no problem, but its a pain when your trying to research something. ugh

 

Stock gaskets can be really hard to get. I've spent many hours gettings these out. Sharp blade worked best for me. But my advice is: use silocone on both sides of your new gasket (or use silicone only) - it will be much easier for you to take it out later.

 

This could be a useful thread. Don't make me lock/delete it.

 

I'm simply trying to find info on porting the intake manifold. I'm looking for a 3rd party to do the work - will ship it. Anyone? Its for a Turbo II
