I hope it's OK to revive an old thread to ask questions. If not I can start a new thread.
I am removing a 1990 944 Turbo engine with a cracked cylinder for repair, or I might part the whole thing out depending on how this goes.
It looks to me this car was designed to have the whole body removed off the drive train, then do repairs. I don't have a lift so I'm working on the floor and I'm using Clark's garage instructions for rough direction. Those instructions say "remove exhaust" but since they are not specific to Turbo cars, not much detail is given.
Down pipe has four bolts at the turbo (1) and two of them can not be removed with engine in place that I can see. I was able to remove 3 bolts (2) mid way down the downpipe so that section can stay attached to the turbo and engine assembly on removal, I assume.
The up-pipe on the right (3) however has 4 bolts/nuts 2 of which can not be accessed as far as I can see. Do I leave the up-pipe attached to the turbo/engine on removal?
