is this worth an engine pull?..
ok so i'm having a few problems with the engine and a friend recommended we do an engine pull to make things easier.
while the engine was out, we were going to:
*port the wastegate
*clean the turbo
remove the remainder of emissions components
install new gaskets/grommets/o-rings
new vacuum/fuel lines where needed
clean up engine components and maybe paint
sandblast/clean/repaint engine bay
the main reason we were going to pull was so we could have easier access to the turbo/wastegate. but i figure if it's out, we really should just go ahead and take care of all that stuff.
thoughts? opinions? any past experiences?
thanks

Well, pulling the engine will certainly make it a lot easier to clean up the engine bay and access the turbo, but by far it is not required. You're going to find a lot of stuff wrong when you pull the engine that you might as well fix at the same time. Like worn mounts, a clutch, oil pan gasket, etc.
