OK, was nitpicking my way around my redtop (again) prior to dropping it in my car (checking hoses again, etc) and I found out that the metal coolant line that runs from the back of the engine to the turbo center section is bent near the turbo (i.e. bent to where it's pinched, looks like it's metal-fatiguing too) :( anyone know how much those are? I'm gonna call the shop I got the engine from tomorrow, see if they have one lying around, 'cause it'd suck if i have to wait for one to get shipped :( (hoped to have engine in and start getting new hoses and vacuum lines and start on piping stuff by end of weekend). any ideas on how to get the banjo bolt off? can't get at it with a socket, gonna see if my roommates' 19mm box-end wrench will work (my combo wrenches only go up to 15mm).

nuts nuts nuts nuts nuts. i was hoping to set the engine in the car tomorrow, now it looks like it's gonna be even longer :(
