I had done it once before and couldn’t remember if you should go in the same order as torquing or reverse.  This Vanagon Westy project has really got me going.  I rescued the thing from and old storage warehouse down in Houston.  Before that it had been parked in a barn near Austin, Tx since 1997 and become quite the rodent bed and breakfast place.  I have spent several months just removing all the interior to clean up at the rat poo and piss!!  Boy is that stuff corrosive.  Only a couple of areas of rust that needed major fixing and just a couple of other areas, like the sliding door that will need some fixing but nothing enormous. I have a brand new 1z/AHU TDI long block that I am putting together using parts from an AHU that was stored in a shed for several years waiting for a project that never happened for another diesel head!  So far I have had to source a triangular turbo mount AAZ exhaust manifold ( and then manufacture a mounting bracket to mount the AHU turbo), an AAZ intake manifold and numerous other Vanagon diesel only parts.  I would really like to have a Vanagon turbodiesel oil pan but I will make do with the regular diesel Vanagon oil pan for now.  Since I am retiring in may, this will be my long term project.  I picked it up some last summer and have only recently really gotten serious about it.  Anyone know if Loren is still about?  I checked the archives and nothing from him since Dec. 2017.  I usually get a Christmas card/letter from him but not so far this year.  Oh well, keep dieseling. Hayden
