Yeah, but it's MUCH more time consuming and costly ... so far I have gone through 2 cans of engine enamel and I'm currently on can #3, 2 cans of carb/choke cleaner, 2 cans of brake cleaner & 1 can of paint thinner (bolt bath).
Anywho, here is a nice picture of the timing cover, complete with the under driven power steering pump & alternator pulleys.
After the engine is broken in naturally aspirated, I need to pull the oil pan in order to drill & tap the oil pan for the oil return line for the turbo. I was going to tap the block like I did before on the other 3L that was in the Contour that I rolled, but had already started to build up the engine and installed the oil pan ... it was too late when I realized my mistake. Well, it's not really too late ... I guess I could always rotate the engine a bit and remove the oil pan & windage tray to tap the block ... hmmmm ... decisions decisions!
