This is moving stupid fast!
I have everything off the head in less than 2 hours! Turbo, sheet metal manifold, all turbo lines, exhaust. It seemed it took all day to put that stuff on when first installed... anyway.
Now onto the head removal procedure, what order do i take the bolts off in?

I have the entire engine ripped down including turbo kit off car (zrated doesnt have this problem ) That took some extra time with the turbo kit.
I have pics and I will tell you all here in a second what the problem was. Its not ringlands!

I am not going to tell you all "told you so" but I guessed right. The valves are burnt and the cookie monster got a hold of cylinder ONE (not 4 like so many others). Bottom end is in awesome shape so I think I am going to throw some forged pistons in there and get a ported head to throw on top.
I will put up more pics when I do a build of the engine.
I now belive this is soley taking a car on an 8 hour road trip that got cut to 2 hours without a good tune. I wansnt as hard on my engine as I once thought, it just got freaking HOT.
Turbo has no damage whatsoever.
