After that major hurdle, everything came out with no problems.

That's a lot of work just to detail the engine compartment.

Take care of the 1st four items in your "planned" category while the engine is out! ;-)

Yea... I've been doing a little housekeeping as I go... ; )

Just kidding! Good work.

Swinging motors in an older muscle car is my limit. Too much potential for scew-ups under the ar's hood.

Nappy

Yes, absolutely...

Yea.. that was my only engine pulling experience, a '66 mustang 15+ years ago. There was so much room in that engine bay.

The audi is a bit unsettling, so say the least. I have so many things floating in my head right now, I can't even focus on work. Almost everything is electronic so it only involved disconnecting the plugs, kinda easy. I gave the engine a thorough once over to make sure I didn't shear anything off. I'm just hoping it will start when everything is back together again. I'm getting plenty of reassurance from the B5 S4 forum. Plenty of guys there pulled engines with no problems.

check out what StreetCrawler(cole) is doing to his S4 2.7T motor:


(see what you can see in the thread, but he has new pullys, new polished forge diverters, new red valve covers, samco hoses that are color coordinated to air temp (blue for inflow, red turbo to intercooler, and orange intercooler to input.) and of course, K04s etc.)<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/rockymtn/msgs/65767.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/rockymtn/msgs/65767.phtml</a</li></ul>
