It looks to me like the valve cover is leaking good and the middle exhaust stud seems to be leaking too.

This is my first time pulling the valve cover. Does everything look alright in there from the pic? lol

Figured out my pcv valve is actually preventing the engine to breath which would explain how much shit is in my catch can. I can just drill it out or hollow it out right? I do not have it hooked up to the intake manifold.

I saw some insane wire tuck jobs on vw's and honda's and really got inspired:

What the hell is this^? Can I cut it off and leave just the metal line?

i did i think its the tank vent.

i did i think its the tank vent.

+1 Normally attached to the charcoal canister I think.

That line is the vent for the gas tank. You shouldn't have it blocked off cause when the fuel vaporizes it needs somewhere to go. But yea remove the rubber hose and you can just leave the metal line open. Too bad you're so far away otherwise I'd gladly help out.

Here is some inspiration for ya! :p

I want to pull the whole harness out and route it through a custom hole I will make next to the shifter cables. I've seen all these VW's with their super clean engine bays. I want to shock people when I open the hood. lol

Got the tranny out in about an hour with everything out of the way.

To me it looks like those black springs aren't sticking out like they should.

I'll pull the clutch off tonight when I have a friend over to keep the motor from rotating. I have easter dinners to attend today.

This is how clean I aim to make my engine bay:

Granted, our firewalls aren't that smooth, but it's good to set your goals high, right?

Got the clutch off last night and took some pics. Looks to me like the material holding the springs in on the side they broke is much thinner than the other side. That plus me dumping the clutch for fun did it in.

The PP looks good to me though. Can I just find a different disc and throw that in without messing with the pp and flywheel? This crap has like 4k miles on it.

You can just buy a disk and reuse the pressure plate and flywheel.
