I am getting so sick and tired of this dumb ass idea I had. Another fu**%^G problem. they all are on the right side of the engine. Go to finish pulling the heads off for the exhaust stud problem and SNAP one of the bolts for the shit ass casting for the thermostat snaps off. another one for the shop to fix. So I press on to take the left head off and as I am down to the last three cam tower bolts....SNAP the G%& $@mn FU*^$#g allen head wrench breaks off in the bolt head down in the cam tower. Its stuck and I can not get the tip out of the bolt. You can see the tip in the bolt in the photo. I am real close to having a Porsche blow out sale. OR take some of my happy pills.

Heck I dont have any Idea but it is weird how the problems are all on the right side. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) The latest can not be from salt air because it is inside the cam tower

Take two stress (happy) pills, and call me in the morning.

It will all work out....just a tad frustrating I see.

that sucks!!!

don't use allen-keys like that for anything that's tight...
their weak and won't take any serious force
If it's more than hand-tight, use an extension

I learned another way. I broke one while trying to loosen a bolt and the f-ing allen-key snapped and the end went straight through my hand (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif)

IMO, allenbolts suck per definition. It's either this or you strip the heads

damm, you give up easy! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

i don't know what you were expecting when you decided to put a 20+ year old motor in a 30+ year old car.
you better buy a *lot* more of your happy meds because the problems will just keep coming.

ask me how i know ...
but, for me, that's part of doing a conversion or restauration, something you can be really proud of once you're done and you take her for that first spin around the corner ...

until then,

Take the happy pills! Then when all is calm go through all of the things you still need to do on the project. Evaluate what items have a potential of causing problems. The default is all items will have several problems. Before you take on a task tell yourself: there will be problems with this. Then when something happens your cool because you expected it. If all goes smoothly then you are ahead.

Hang in there. This conversion is going to be so cool when it is done.

I hate to agree with the boy from the land of dykes, (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) but buy a good set of socket allens.

Its all about perspective. I expect every bolt to be a problem, every tool to snap, and when 7 out of 8 don't, I feel like I am lucky (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Take a breath, take a pill, take a big ass hammer to it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Wait till you start to torque the heads down after a rebuild and have two of them spin!! I was working on a 356 engine while the guy I used to work for was doing a 928, all of a sudden he shouts F*%&, throws the torque wrench across the room and leaves. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) For the rest of the day! Pulled two studs while torquing, long story short, he bought a wrecked customers car and swapped engines!

I think I am at the point Scott was at just before Xmas. I just have a bunch of crap going on at the moment and should step back and take a breath. Speaking of Scott did he ever drive his any further than the video of him going into the garage?

yeah, common problem on the 944's and such. They really liked those damn allen bolts. Calm down, take a happy pill, get a long drill bit and an easy out.
