So long story short, had the turbo swapped on the Passat by Mike at 413 auto with a hybrid 1756. Driving the car home on the highway one night during acceleration, engine shuts off. Try to start it and hear a clunk. Eventually got the car home, pulled the head and found that the exhaust manifold gasket was upside down, blocking half of the intake ports.
Mike doesn't think this is what killed the engine, I think it was a pretty big part of it considering we were tuning it for more power.
Anyways I'm prepping another engine, and I got the BSM off and the crank pully on. I'm now on plugging the oil feed for the BSM but I stupidly didn't tap it deep enough and stripped the plug.
I tried what I could to unscrew it without harming the oil pan mating surface but that thing is not coming out. I didn't lock tight it or anything as I was testing to see how deep it went, so the question is do I drill this out and try to use a larger plug or just leave it since it's stuck anyways and grind it flat.
Thanks!
