Anyone have a link to or drawing of the Vacuum lines? I have one I am reconstructing, and are now at that point where all the disconnected Vac lines have no home. In fact I may be missing some things.. I bought it cheap and have the head back on Torqued and Maliciously Timed (no interference)...the VVT was an experience and a challenge considering all the various write-ups and mis-information..Geeze! anyway, any guidance will be greatly appreciated!

Finally...after buying this car for Pennies basically...I got the timing belt on and it runs like a well oiled sewing machine! VVT timing wasn't as hard as the procedure makes it out to be... 1st ignition today...ran for 15 minutes and never got any codes... I always wondered cause I've read guys getting codes after timing belt replacements.. The only thing I got earlier today was a misfire on Ckt A . #1 was unplugged... Cleared the codes and presto!! Runs great. Test drive tomorrow! Woo Hooo!

Sorry I missed this thread earlier or I would have answered your questions about the vacuum lines. Congrats on getting your completed. I'm wrapping mine up this weekend. I thought that I was finished, but when I started it the turbo oil line was leaking.

yeah...I noticed something i really didn't want to see...the oil has become a little milky..just a tad. I'm hoping its from old oil/water that was previously in the engine left behind after i drained it. Or maybe a bad turbo seal. No compression in the cooling line system or coolant reservoir...so I hope its not a BHG. Its Brand new and torqued to spec with a Shaven Head!!...I'll have to keep and eye on it. My next quest will be compression test. It developed a small Lope or skip...#5 seems to be acting up... changed the coils, checked the plug and can't get any notable activity from that cylinder.
