1st pics aer of inside the motor after taking my header off. the last pic is of the radiator. are these things ok?

 

wow...i hope it dont look like that when i take my headers off...id image thats normal..sdid u get a lot of smoke or any dark smoke when u drove ur car?

 

the header gasket is normal....just a lil rust...make sure when replacing your header you scrape that off and put a fresh one on there

 

i guess i get dark smoke when i drop it a gear. i did chipp the ecu so more fuel dumps in though. if this IS bad, can i clean/flush this some how. or take it to the dealer

 

i was probably gonna get a new one when i put the turbo on. the new exhaust manifold that is

 

referring to tegboosters comment, dont "scrape" the remains of the gasket because youll leave an uneven surface because the head is aluminum. use some emery cloth to take it off

 

good deal, thanks. i was just looking at new ones and there going for 50ish on ebay. JESH, i think im just gonna keep this

 

youll need a new gasket

 

The gasket is metal. There is no way it will stick on there in chunks. Just pry it off.

The dirt inside the ports is normal. It is exhaust, do you expect it to be clean?

And your A/C condensor looks like it got in a fight with a hairy cat. At least scrape off all the hair.

 

LOL yea i know its exhaust and thats what my tail pipe looks like BUT i just wanted to be sure....b$ i continue with turbo install. Actually thats my radiator not the AC, which i did scrape it off, just weird that the shit got in there even with ac condensor in its way(not shown)
