Do work
yes, I actually put a new gasket on that day but it's still leaking from somewhere. That was one place it was leaking, but not anymore, as far as I know. This video is from the same day.
Glad you like my garage
EDIT:
Re-watching this video, I remembered a huge problem that I somehow keep forgetting. This thing isn't putting out much power, I don't know if it's putting out anymore power than my a6 did. Any advice? FYI: v-tec is NOT currently connected, I don't know if that would make a difference in any power issues. I read on a site where a guy did an a6/y8 and he said his torque was about the same as a stock b16, but I don't feel like it is anything more than my a6, if it's even that much. Could being severely un-timed do this? Originally, a guy said that he was doing the swap and you need to use a d15b7 belt with 4.5 degrees of advance to compensate for the higher head, but I couldn't get the belt to fit right, as you all know, so I got the y8 belt and a stripped bolt remover kit and a new bolt for the belt tensioner, and now the y8 belt is on, and the motor is back on as far as cam degrees. When I put the belt on and set it all to TDC, I had the cam in the "up" position, and when the crank pulley was removed, I turned the woodruff key insert to line up with the arrow on the block that pointed at the crank pulley, this is what I was told but since I'm thinking of all these different things I figure maybe thats not right. I don't know, little help would be nice.
EDIT 2:
The lame ass bottom nut on the bottom of the intake manifold, being that it was such a hassle I figured I won't need to put this one back on, the other ones will hold it fine. Could this be a cause for any power loss and/or coolant loss?
