I'm halfway through a major service and didn't drop the engine.
 
Definitely possible, if I had my time again, I would drop it.
 
But, the difference is that time is a non issue for me for the most part.

Thanks Carmikey, same reason I chose black. I think the second one your thinking of is 'the right stuff' or similar which is not ideal for that application.

Deevon: I am tending towards the engine drop albeit I think it's overkill and forces me to want to check, clean, paint, replace more

Definitely an issue, but "do it once, do it right"

Yesterday the turbo and exhaust manifold came out and I got to have a good look beneath.

Just curious regarding the HFH and HFHOE hoses; I'm obviously going to replace them but I think I might have some silicone hose that might be the correct I/D. Any thought on using that (possibly using a heat shielding sleeve over it) for longevity and better resistance to heat?

I got the HFH HFHOE silicone hoses (with the kit from Stoney), but opted to replace them with the stock rubber hoses. HFH comes with a heat sleeve and I added one to the HFHOE.
 
Only reason for that is I've heard silicone really doesn't like too much heat and I don't want to do it again.

I think I've got a spare HFHOE floating around too if you're interested (would have to find it though)

Regarding studs (I'm looking to replace exhaust manifold, dump pipe studs and nuts) should I apply some thread lock to the end going into the head and turbo? I'll use the double nut method to tighten the studs
