So sad................................

Interesting Turbo... That would be great. Is there any way of confirming if this is a rebuilt motor?

Welllllll guys,
I tried. I don't think I have been around long enough to really let go on this one but who has a three handed monkey they can let me borrow to help me with these valves!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I swear I did not move that wrench but the feeler gauges don't lie. Do it again, and again, and again.......... well you get the idea.

What a project this is...
2 hours in and I had those first two valves nailed and I mean adjusted within a knats a___. Then I come upon an exhaust valve that is out to .40 MM! Figured that would sure help to get it set correctly.
Nuts are frozen together, I can't get them to budge with my homebuilt wrench set. Can you believe it? I stopped trying before doing any damage to them but boy I sure wanted to get out the half inch torque wrench and give something a good...

Oh well, I guess this job might go to the mechanic. I just hate to spend half the cars value on a mechanic?

I would like to thank everyone again for all your help!
Cheers,
Mitch

p.s. Heck who knows after sleeping on it I may give it one more go, I just hate not being able to finish something that I start.
