Here's a thought ... Did they ever make any 2.5 Turbos that were SOHC with semi-closed deck head design? I would like to try and obtain some so if-when I have a head job I can get some better heads so the head gasket repair will last.
I know for '04 Turbos are DOHC and for '05+ all are DOHC.
Call me weird, I just like SOHC better for the simplicity and ability to adjust valves without playing the "shim game". :biggrin:
Looking at some parts lookup choices, it seems there were no SOHC 2.5 Turbos made, so if you want the semi-closed head deck design you have to go with DOHC heads.
Are the cams the same on Turbos as non-turbos?
In 2005 they also went to the variable valve timing design, so that is another complicating factor?!
