[Vwdiesel] It's off! head gasket - turbo oil return line frustration

[Will Taygan]

Thanks, I've got a KKK, and there's two bolts, looks like I have to take
off the turbo to get one of them.

Good news though, the head is off, about an hour of struggling with the
turbo oil return connection, it finally came off with some heat from the
torch.

Now I've got the manifold bolts soaking in Kroil for a day an I'll go at
again.

Thanks,

Will
