How can I clean out the intake ports on the head? I pulled my manifolds and there is some serious crud caked on the intake ports.

It is EGR soot mixed with oil mist from the crank vent.  Eliminate either one and it won't build up.

Either pull the cam or rotate it so the valve is closed on the port you are working on. Then vacuum or blow it out.

From a removal of wiring standpoint. O2 sensors yada yada. I hate abs. I'm lookin to maybe do it with a 96 vr6 auto that's in bass shape with a bum trans for less than 2 grand only 60k on the body. I guess what I'm asking is will my brakes work by just disconnecting the abs control from the ecu when I take it out? The seller suggests I just get a b3 aaz harness.

just to put my 0.02$ in, i would say that glowplugs are essential, not optional. Yes the care will start but i feel like it is very unhealthy for the engine especially on cold starts. The coolant glowplugs help get the engine up to operating temp faster as the tdis take longer to heat up than our IDI's. Im also going to vote for the hydro clutch, theyre really just as reliable as a cable if you use parts in good condition (maybe out of a b4 or ahu jetta? seeing as they're still available new)

I have decided on going hydro clutch.

looks like the g60 flywheel by sachs and the vr6 clutch kit is the way to go.

How so?  Their window reg's suck, sure but essentially the same cars.  I've a bunch of them over the years.  Looks-wise, the facelifted B4 wins  hands down.

I kinda like the space shuttle look of a white b3.
