8/14/24: pulled and pushed car into work bay with an atv, Got engine hoist and started disassembling the components required to remove the engine. I removed the battery, radiator, ac, alternator, intercooler and the bolts on the turbo's exhaust. I plan to be able to remove the engine tomorrow after I disconnect the wiring, downpipe, fuel, trans warmer, and any other vacuum lines.
OF NOTE. underside was very dry except for the timing cover below the cams on both sides, the front differential, and the transmission pan. head gasket and valve cover gasket both look very good with no signs of leakage. the oil on the diff and the trans is probably from a leak at the back of the engine or close to it. when draining the radiator there seemed to be come oil in the coolant and the coolant seemed new. there was a decent amount of oil in the intercooler but turbo compressor exit was very dry and clean.
