^ i was thinking the same thing. haven't had the chance to crack the VC on the D17 yet, but if it's anything like the motor that was in my protege, there's just rubber seals around the spark plug holes under the VC. should be able to put a new VC gasket in there (the protege's was all one piece) and you should be good.

Yeah, that's what it looks like folks. Whew!! The old seals are all cracked and don't have the extra little lip that my new ones do. Talk about a fucking panic attack! Oi!!!
Putting it back together now.
Checked the head bolts and they're fine. I'm going to beat on it a little tomorrow and I get more coolant into the overflow, then the HG is getting replaced on Saturday,

There's a good chance that I'm not going to answer your PM.
well im just glad to see nothing is broken beyond repair at this point for you. the vid was great except the NA is for suckas part lol i took a little offense but i will live. glad to see you had a lot of fun at the track. hopefully i will have a track worthy car in the near future. Expect an update on my thread today or tomorrow. Im looking at camshaft profiles what fun .
damnnnn fooooos all the cash and all these problemms.. oh well in the end it will eventually be good lol.. im going to pick my kswap up next week gettin rid of the little single cam.
First thing that came to my mind when I first read this was damaged piston rings, I'm glad its only plug seals.
But still what a pain.

LOL- varner. All part and parcel to the grand D17 Turbo Gig. I don't look at them as problems. They are simply "New Learning Opportunities"...
I know Richard, that was my original thought, which is why I hit the panic button! Thank the gods (Ra, Consanguinities, and Pookie) that it was just the spark plug seals! I think the HG is still a little leaky, but I'll test that tomorrow.

Re: Everything is OK again - Still boosted! (Pg 81) - The Speedfoos' Turbo Thread!!
I just might actually. I've got a spare block sitting here, but it's completely bare, so I'd need to source the crank, oil pump and a few other things that I don't really feel like looking for. If you plan on selling just the block (no head) with everything inside of it (minus the FW), let me know.
