RIV Report?

[Gregory OConnor]

Kurt, first thing to do is soak all the crap bolts up with PB
blaster then I dab a finger full of grease on the rusted nut for
overnight wait.

Drop the stress off the manifold and turbo by not screwing with the
pipes after the maifold untill after you have disconnected the first
connection to, if not the manifold itself.

The oil hoses get dry on the thread surface. PB Blaster does a good
job there also. good hoses have a printed line on them and the line
should run true on reassembly to keep plys from seperating and
leaving interal blockage down the road.that why some time you see a
small elbow bandes midway in a hose that looks like it could be
connected in a one long piece repair.

All the hose connections that are banded need to be buffed out with
somthinig like a wire wheel prior to reassembly.

Mark mounting hardware and parts like tank top, that are to be
reinstalled with the orientation and take pre taredown pics.
run a line down the exh.pipe connection prior to taking pics to use
as a model if being replaced or as a lineup if being reassembled.

would be cool to get a bedroom temp at a control situation prior to
repair then again after. good bench mark for early detection for
future s60. your first post of hotbedroom raised no concern as hot
is not a value definable online and a hotbedroom post is dismissed
and not read the folks that post a protest that includes; I dont
read these sort of posts ???

Check with the factory to see if there has been prior issue while
under warrenty maybe there was a modification in later years, your
s60 is the first to be built????? (not suggesting it is a warrenty
issue not that that would help anyway)
