Update:
Fabbed up my brackets for my parts car fan and bolted the fan in for good.
Got it all necessary parts together to test the new radiator and move the car around a little.
Then I ripped it all apart again in search of whats causing my oil leak
Unfortunately, all I can tell is that something is causing a lot of carbon build up, there is no evidence of anything that would cause the oil leakStrictly Pleasure/Zero Clearance/Stretch Your LegsAlex

Well I had some drama right before I put it all back together. Who doesn't love drama right? Dropped a nail into the engine, then dropped a magnet trying to fish the nail out. After spending most of a day swearing about having to pull the oil pan, my dad gave it a go to get everything out. He ended up getting both out! Of course now he puffs his chest out cuz he knows I owe him big time haha. Anyways I make it a habit of trying to always post pics so here goes:
Block all put back together, and I painted the intake mani and throttle body
its all together up to the radiator. No reason to put the front end on yet
My dumb ass broke my coolant flange so now I have to wait for another new one to arrive. I was also really bummed when I put the painted mani and throttle body on, they are really nice and clean looking and the rest of the engine bay is completely filthy. lol

Rebuilding on the side of the street is not fun lol What'd you blow up?
Kinda wish I had gone to Blairsville. When I started I was the only Audi owner there, I think there was maybe 5 when I graduated, but I never talked to any of them. Are there a huge amount of "cowboys" with piece of shit trucks there?Strictly Pleasure/Zero Clearance/Stretch Your LegsAlex

Yeah I didn't get my car in the shop much, only 6th week for the most part. Although my teachers in EMS were awesome and let me bring the Audi in all the time. Got lucky that was probably the best class besides learning to weld in Chassis Fab. And damn guess I would have been out of place there too haha Guess before I talk all around you I should ask, which core your taking?Strictly Pleasure/Zero Clearance/Stretch Your LegsAlex

I'm taking general auto as my core and chassis fab as my elective too lol. I'm in my 3rd week of EMS 2 and my teachers are great. My assistant teacher happens to be an audi vw tech and has a built ur s4 its nuts! However, I get shit on by everybody everyday including my teachers because I instantly became "that kid who blow up his motor first week into school" Did you enjoy chassis fab cause honestly I came to this school mostly for that?

Loved Chassis Fab, but I wish the Laramie campus still had high performance engines because when I signed up, they used to be the same class. Chassis Fab is def worth it
