Yes, you are still waiting to know when the car has gotten started. I took off the manifolds because I wanted to change the manifold gasket and starter anyway. While I have the turbo off, I rebuilt it. I replaced the starter. I also replaced the non operative block heater cord. For the last few days, I have been trying to get the lower turbo drain tube off. Getting this out of the engine is the hardest part of working on this engine. Hopefully I'll have it out tonight. I will also change the engine mounts while the manifolds are off. Since my time is limited I'm thinking it will be about a week before it is all back together and then I can see if it starts with the new start motor, new glow plugs, valve adjustment and functioning block heater. Also I oiled the hood hinges. That should help the engine start better.
