Cool thanks! 17 it is... or tight.. thanks for explaining it I guess I didn't think that the axle nut was also holding it all on.. lol

Thanks! You rock man that helps a lot.

Are you sure? When I took em off it seemed much more than 17... It seems pretty important to me, because the wheel is mounted on the hub and the hub is connected to the disk by those four bolts. If they weren't tightened properly it seems like the wheel could come off during operation.

Starting to get really close to finishing up however theres still a couple things that I'm not sure about. I got it started today but the water pump started puking so I had to put a new gasket on that... Anyway here's my questions: I don't remember disconnecting this... Do I need to connect it? That's the fuel filter and master cylinder in the background. I also dont remember disconnecting the cylidrical electrical connector underneath and behind the airbox... What goes to that? I did get the lower oil sensor thing connected but I'm not sure where the wire is to connect the upper oil sensor... any idea? This connector is off the end of the main harness and is the same style as the fuel injector connectors but about a foot longer.. what's that go to? What does the other end of this vacuum hose connect to? Right now its hooked up to a lot of stuff.. IAC, Air intake, Carcoal canister, intake manifold etc... That's it for now, you guys have been a huge help getting me along this far so thanks!!

What should the four bolts on the hub be torqued to for an 87 gl-10? I can't seem to find it in the Haynes manual.. The haynes manual isnt so great when it comes to torque specs they had almost triple the correct value for the flywheel and pp bolts

If anyone needs me to explain the pics a little more I'd be happy to... Anybody out there with a EA82t???

I'm almost done with the clutch/head gasket job, but I need some help with vacuum and heater hose. If anyone has pictures of an ea82T engine bay showing vacuum hose connections or just high res stuff that would be super, feel free to post up. Here's some of my own: Do those two on the right side go together? Where does the one in the upper left go? Whats the black box in the red circle? The nipple snapped off of it, do I need to fix it or can I get rid of it? Does the metal line above it connect to it? Where do the ones in the yellow circle go? Does this one connect to the nipple under the intake coming out of the engine block? How about this one? I've made those connections so far with fuel injection line, the rest are vacuum connections correct? And I know theres one or two t's in there how do those go? Thats it for now, as always any help is much appreciated hopefully I can get this thing back on the road soon!

Coming off the block where does the air bleed hose run to? Its number 1 in the diagram. It has MPFI and a turbo if that helps. Thanks!

great thank you!

Should there be any rtv or gaskets where the pressure relief hole mates (cam tower to cylinder head)? Is it just rtv around the perimeter and an o-ring in the oil passage? Or is there more?

What is the name of the cover behind the flywheel, directly to the right of the rear oil seal? I'm trying to find the gasket for this to buy by itself but it seems that it only comes in the "conversion gasket set". I only need that one and an oil pan gasket and would much rather pay $10 than $50 and have left over gaskets. Or would some sort of silicon gasket sealer work fine for this?

Actually the driver is my girlfriends dad, I'm pretty sure he bought the car new in 87 but I might be wrong... I'm thinking that maybe it was out of adjustment, but I dunno.

cool thank you!

Cool, so milling will be sufficient then? I dont have to replace it?

This is my first time replacing a clutch so I was just wondering what you guys can tell me about my flywheel... It looks like there are several hairline cracks extending radially outward from the center to about halfway up on the machined surface... Is this normal? or not?

cool, got it.... Thanks guys!

It'll clean up, I hope... Actually its not even my car, my girlfriends dad asked me to work on it for him and I agreed. The cylinder heads pressure tested fine so we're gonna go through with it, had they not we probably would have sold it or started looking into an engine swap.

So that worked a little bit. The left and upper part are separated about a quarter to a half inch but the lower right part is still pretty much flush. I can't really get it to budge now though, in or out.

cool thx, its a 87 gl-10 turbo

In the middle of replacing the headgaskets, we decided to go ahead and replace the clutch too. I've got this far, after taking off the top two bolts and nuts, and the bottom two nuts, the engine and transmission dont seem to want to split. Any advise or tips, did I forget to unbolt something else? Thanks in advance!

Thanks again everybody for your help... I finally managed to get both heads off with the engine still in and the ac compressor off to the side... Both heads have one crack between the valves on one cylinder each... Thats all of the cracks that I can see for now... I'll get some pics up soon. So I was wondering what my options were at this point? I'm going to take the heads to Headsup in Auburn, Wa to have them tested and whatnot. I suppose if they are still good I can put em back on, but what if they aren't? I haven't seen any refurbished ones on ebay. Are there any other engines that can be swapped for the ea82t? Anything else to think about?

Cool, thanks everybody for the quick and informative replies. So far I'm going to try to do it with the engine in, but that could all change if I hit a snag. We'll see...

I've done a lot of searching, but am still a little confused on some things... I have a 87 gl 4wd turbo that blew a head gasket. The engine is a 1.8 with overhead cams. I see a lot of people using EA81 and EA82, what does this mean exactly and what is mine? Is it possible to put new head gaskets in without removing the engine? Removing the engine would be a hassle because the manual says the ac needs to be discharged and recovered and the car is not drivable to have that done. Any other tips or tricks? I've done two head gaskets before but those were both on I4's this seems a little more tricky, especially with the turbo. Thanks in advance!
