So just HOW bad is the potential for doing the oil pump cover? Extreme. Done a handful of these over the years without issue. This time...this time I lose. Three OEM bolts would not budge. Tried Vessel drive with vice grips. Nada. Tried the impact with impact JIS bits. Nope. Tried easy out, it broke in the head of the bolt
Unfortunately the condenser had to come out. Impact worked on two and in the last used the Dremel to cut a notch in the screw head and impact driver to remove it finally. Really sucks but to be honest, I was kinda thinking of replacing the condenser anyway because of all the muck. Oh well.
Yup, it bolted right in except one side needed a nut on the mount since there was no welded nut. No biggie. You may want to paint it as it comes painted silver.

No using hex/torx instead. The the countersink of the screwhead acts as an indexer for the cover. Since the cover isn’t pinned into place you can’t use standard hex bolts or SHCS because those won’t index properly.
I'm changing quite a few things that I probably shouldn't be changing but I'm going to because I want to. Going to be changing out quote a few things that are non-standard. Not for the purists ...and IR12
How supercharging works on diesel engines. Twincharging, a combination of supercharging and turbocharging, plays on the benefits of an engine driven supercharger and an exhaust driven turbocharger in order to significantly reduce turbo lag and improve overall performance.
