Ok... had a major problem after playing with a civic type r lol. This is the result so far, think once the head comes off we will find at least one melted piston by the sounds of things, may be time to just do a full rebuild

started pulling things off


inside head looks clean


few more bits off


spotted a bolt sheared off on the turbo :[


and exhaust gasket was on upside down partially blocking the outlets :O


so turbo out and away to be repaired with new gasket also (no play in the shaft so thats something i suppose)


and one sad looking xr2 turbo
