Alert me when someone posts in this thread:

you don't have a spray bar - so disregard that.

the vlv cover is two gaskets, but they come together.

the gasket between the exhaust manifold and the turbo.
probably need to replace those bolts if you never have.
you may want to consider the exhaust manifold bolt set from eEuro $20.
power steering pump bushings - you have a good shot at them now.
belts and all the routine maint stuff

by the time you get the ex manifold bolts out, clean up the threads, locktight them back in (some will come out of the block)
and they say you need to replace the nuts anyway (i never do).
PBR blaster these nut the night before and they may behave better

tip...
to save your knuckles on the R&R of the ex manifold.
break the two 17mm and one 19mm on the PS motor mount
Put a jack under the trans toward the back and lift the engine/trans a few inches.
Lift the engine a few inches (2-3)
now you can take that bracket out w/o a problem
keep it up and you'll have good clearance to R&R the exhaust manifold.

don't forget those two bolts under the head on the timing chain side.

Watch your thumb on the half moons on the head whne you rotate the engine = I'm missing a chunk of my thumb now! That corner is SHARP!

please excuse the sea of typos - Carl
