Still picking away. Below more video and tearing apart.
Good news, motor makes good compression. Clutch pedal issue was a seized clutch slave. New unit works good.
So i don't have to pull the engine and trans, makes me very very happy.
Cleaned up the carpet some with all the mouse shit on it. Could use another scrub but way better.
This was the worst of the rust on the car. Gave it a 3 stage POR-15 treatment. Also did the other spots that rusted out on the other car (Good reference)
Here is some more of the garbage one of the previous owners did.
This is the pyrometer, i'm sure that gave a accurate reading.
Coolant distribution block absolutely disgusting and extremely ghetto setup.

This is the vacuum line configuration. I'm like 90% sure this car never made more than 1 or 2PSI... And found a dyno sheet in the car that supports that theory.

Timing belt is too loose for my liking and there is some corrosion on the waterpump.. So got a new kit coming SKF from rock seems very affordable, any feedback on that kit?

The turbo "kit" is off. I ended up pulling the trigger on a ATS CT27, just for peace of mind, so i won't have to pull this mess apart again for awhile.
Engine harness is off.
Whats next on the horizon?
pulling the vacuum like off the fuel pressure regulator had a bunch of gas in it. So i'll grab that from the other engine... I also found flow numbers for injector cleaning that was done. Shows about 530~CC and these injectors are a purple color on the car. I don't think thats factory from what i have been reading, so i might grab the parts car's injectors too.
Looks like the rear pinion (i guess thats what you guys would call it?) is leaking. So that's a rear diff out job (ignore the grass clippings, i'll clean it once it's out/running)
I'm not sure what this line is, but guessing it's fuel. So i'll have to look at that once i get back there, as it looks moist.
