Tech Tips
XDP Thread Cleaning Chasers (Sold Separately):
Use the XD40124TC for cleaning engine block threads before installation. Clean threads lead to accurate torque readings and peace of mind in your engine build.

XDP X-TRA Slick Engine & Fastener Assembly Lubricant (Sold Separately):
Highly recommended during engine assembly. This lubricant minimizes friction and torque pre-load scatter, ensuring the longevity of your engine components.

Application Note:
This kit does not fit early 1997 models with 14mm mains. To verify fitment, check turbo oil drain ports: two ports indicate compatibility with 12mm studs; one port indicates a need for 14mm main studs.
