catch can is probably full

wouldn't that be drained before its shipped or depending on the seller...i checked the catch can and its empty

if it was full when the motor was last run it could have been full and emptied for shipping.

and the rest could of stay in the turbo,manifold, and intake manifold right?...that could be it cause where the intake and turbo manifold goes in theres no sign of oil at all...hopefully it runs good when its in...thanks alot dude:)

yeah, hope for the best. It's actually not that expensive to rebuild an SR with OEM replacement parts so worst comes to worst, rebuild while it's out and have a "brand new" motor.

cool thanks for the info

p.s. how would i clean the inside of the intake manifold and turbo...brake cleaner?...can i run water through it and dry it up?

[DOOK]

I would use some brakleen

I would use some brakleen

thats what i thought, cool...is it safe to run water through it, even the turbo just to wash off any debris?

[DOOK]

I wouldn't suggest it

[ecuastyle84]

alright then thanks again
