You can just push open the throttle body and look in with a flashlight.

Look inside of the intake manifold. Let us know how much is in there. Money says it's not dry.Or the intake tube, see if there's a puddle under the compressor wheel. I know it's a rebuilt turbo, but people make mistakes.

I like how no one has asked you the compression ratio of your motor in order to know how much you should see on a compression test.. OP, you're getting oil from somewhere, the best advice is to go drive the car. Go drive it. For ten miles or so. Burning some oil won't hurt it.. Just let it get...

Check the water port that comes through the rear driver side of the head and is supposed to be blocked off by the IM and sealed by it's gasket. that seal can fail, especially if you are using a heat barrier.I find it to be a good practice to just fill the hole with epoxy and give a good flat...

It is not trigger off the backing plate for the crankshaft gear. It sits in the block.

Things like Foamy Engine Brite, or 3M Foaming Engine Degreaser. Warm water it fine. just be careful of all your sensors.

Does it knock or anything? Make any weird noises? Is it a 6 or 7 bolt motor?

I'm not 100% sure what triggers the Crank Angle sensor down there, and that plate could be it, but it wouldn't be my initial guess. So try checking the fuel and spark and see where you end up. Check spark with this procedure, grab an extra spark plug, pull off one of the spark plug wires at a...

I can't see your crank timing mark in the picture, but if it's on the arrow, then it's not an issue, and your timing is good. Now you'll need to check for spark and fuel, do you need assistance in how to do those two things?

So the issue is when you push in the clutch pedal, and do not put it in gear? Have you done a clutch drag test? Jacks Transmissions LLC — Clutch Drag Kills Synchros!

So when you push the clutch in and leave the car in neutral do the RPM's still drop? Or only when the transmission is put into a gear? There is a thread describing how to adjust your clutch pedal itself, I'll find it and link to it.You see the rod? it threads through the clutch pedal bracket...

I would use a composite gasket, and OEM studs are perfectly fine. Also, before you let them deck your head have it checked for flatness, check with a vendor on this site for a flatness tolerance for that particular gasket. If you're within tolerance (likely) there is no reason to pay for a deck...

http://www.thedsmgraveyard.com/product_p/pf%20fel9627pt.htm There's a good head gasket. your 100 compression does not sound like bent valves at all, there are multiple issues that would cause that, but it's showing that the valves are sealing pretty well. I'd pull the head, check the cylinders...

This thread is terrible. Everyone is giving conflicting advice, the OP isn't following hardly any of it because he heard hooves and thought zebra's instead of horses.. As was previously stated you can check cam timing with the lower timing cover still on, there is a mark on the harmonic...

It's fuel cut, you need tuning capabilities or to lower your boost level.
