Second Overhaul Update

Resleeving's done with nice cross-hatch finish, bore size matched to the 4A-GZE slugs.

By guessing the actual turbo position, the turbo was clocked and the provisions for locating the wastegate actuator were made. A new bolt hole was threaded and a simple bridging plate was cut so that both holes on the actuator flange can be used. Hope the actuator won't hit the cam cover.

Since i bought the wrong oil line kit, only some parts can be used (take note: T3/T4 oil line kit is useless for TD04). The supposedly turbo drain flange is now positioned on the oil pan instead and a new drain pipe for the turbo was fabricated. The nuts for the flange bolts were welded inside. This position should be above the oil level, no?

Whether it will leak oil or not, we shall see later.
