Taking out engine, give me some ideas
Im removing my engine soon, and would like to know what else I can replace while itso ut to help fix some problems. the tranny is the main reason the engine is coming out. the clutch has failed and Im installing a new clutch and flywheel, so I figured why not go ahead and dro pthe engine too and fix some leaks Im having issues with.
For starters, I have an oil leak somewhere. Im thinking its the oil pan. I also have a coolant leak, but not sure where. Im thinking some of it is getting into the engine via coolant seals. Im going to install block off plates on the EGR, BAC Split air, and ACV while Im at it. Look for worn or split hoses, install new rear main seal, along with front cover and seal on the tranny. Can anyone think of anything else that would be smart to replace while the engine is out? I have already installed a new Pulsation Damper and replaced all the fuel lines. the engine has a rough idle with some pulsing. Im thinking vacuum leaks contribute to that issue. So, anything else that slipped my mind thats smart to fix/ replace while Ive gone this far?
Reason for not rebuilding is Im on a limited budget for now. Im out of work and living on little $, so Its something Ill have to love with. As soon as Im back into work I will begin saving up for a rebuild, until then itll have to drink some coolant and smoke a little

Intake gaskets and have your injectors cleaned with new o-rings and grommets.
You'll also need the coolant o-rings for the manifold.
Remove the thermowax and block off the coolant line on the rear iron and on the water pump housing.
If you have time why not have the manifolds cleaned to look like new again?

No need to remove BAC and Thermowax. bac maintanes (sp) idle when various electrical loads are put on engine. Thermowax usefull for cold start idle. I am assuming you have an S4 T2 so i am going to stop there because i am n/a.
