No sir it does not depend on money. You unbolt it.
You have it machined. 3 to 5 hundred bucks and just go ahead and get it ported and polished or you'll forever be kicking yourself.

lol supramacist.

the two bolts for the turbo oil line? yeah, theyre hex nuts, and im not sure if theyre supposed to come off with the threads, but *one* of mine did and the other stayed in.

how the hell did you get it from the top? i have skinny fricken hands and arms and in no position at all could i get it from the top...good that you got it off though.

You can lap the block.

But you can't skimp on the head or it'll bite you in the arse.

That's all im saying.

There are two turbo oil pipes you will need to undo from the block, one is the inlet (banjo fitting) and the other is the outlet, held on with two standard hexagon nuts. The fibres around the pulleys could be due to the pulley tensioner bearing seized or worn.
