Gee thanks, Rich (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Ya got my best side too.

It was my pleasure to comke out and help you. I am glad Leo was there to help me strongarm you into letting us (me) work on your car until we were satisfied with the results.
You and your family were very generous and made the visit even more worth while. I didnt have want for anything, they were like, "are you thirsty, are you hingry, do you wanna stay the night and ride back tomarrow?" You are all a real class act. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

The ride back was uneventful. Kinda cool actually. It stopped raining once I got out of Brooklyn and didnt even sprinkle until I got near the house and that was nothing. There was lightning going on the whole ride home so I had a free show. I got in a little after 1am and my ears are still ringing. I think I need to start using ear pluggs.

Where's Ray? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Thanks again, Rich. I look forward to the next time we all can hang out. I sent you a PM with other things you should look at on your car before beating it to death (which you know you are gonna do (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ).

...spoke to Richie this morning....sounds like I missed a real good one. I really could have used all the knowledge passed around from that 9 hour session!

Mike,
Thanks for keeping Rich in the game...it wouldn't be the same without him around here...or 914less...

Elliot, it is hard to tan through grease and dirt (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Aaron, here is a quick list of what was done:
-Installed pertronics and timed
-Readjusted (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) valves
-Trouble shot AAR (its kaput)
-Swapped out some hoses, modified others with required removal of the decellaration valve (plugged some holes in the air system)
-Fixed buggered up wire on TPS
-Trouboleshot a few other wires

What I recommend doing before any long trips:
-Check, clean and tighten the CV bolts (there was a lot of grease on the trunk floor of the passenger side, IIRC)
-Adjust the throttle
-Adjust the clutch
-Fix the under the steering wrack cover.

It purrs like a kitten and actually has some power now. It will run like poo before it warms up due to the missing AAR, but after it warms up it aint too bad. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

We may have done more, but I cant remember. We hit it and kept going only breaking for lunch as soon as I got there. I left 8:30am from my house and got home at 1am. What a day!

Looks like you guys had an awesome time. I would have loved to come but with the driving school today there was no way I was gonna get out of work.

But I might be getting better at driving.

When is the next wrenching session?

As soon as someone is broken again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Mike its funny you should mention the trunk floor pass side grease thing - It was in my wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat dream last night. I think it will need attention soon. Dirty job and a good one for a wrench session.

Wow, a 3hr ride to do one of the dirtiest jobs on a 914! Who could pass that up! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I am probably in so long as school allows. Basically, I am booked this weekend, next weekend is probably gonna be at Matt's, weekend after that I need to spend time with my family, and then school starts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Up in the air after that.
Rich is buying some of my magic bolts, though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

This is truly great news! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif)

What was the story w/the valves needing readjusted? Thought that was taken care of... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

A 914 gets back on the road, another comes off... I burned a valve this past w'end on my trip to Ohio. Had to make an emergency trip to Buffalo on the return to swap cars. Parked the 914 until I have a full w'end to do the engine drop & replace the heads. It's currently running low compression on cylinder # 1 (50). Something went wrong when I tried the recalibrated MPS. I've got a spare set of heads that are getting cleaned up but I prob will not be able to get back up to Buffalo to do the engine drop til the fall. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

On a brigher note, I'll be able to chase down and fix the oil leak!

The cylinder behind the driver (#4?) was loose and making a horrible racket. I did adjust them with the engine a bit warm so they are potentially a bit loose still, but it couldn't have been worse than they already were.

Gotchya Dr. Maybe the noisy valve didn't get tightened well enough. You are a star for helping out like you did. Leo too, extremely selfless - may karma repay you well.

Ray - that sticky valve sound was indeed a tell tale sign. I was a bit nervous about taking it on the trip to Toledo (UT is my alma mater!) but it's the car I had and I needed to use it. My pops (in Buffalo) took a spare set of heads to Napa to get the valves checked out and cleaned up but I won' thave a chance to get back up there w/him (he heads back to Nebraska in a couple weeks) until Octoberish. Ho hum, coulda been worse but is still a bummer b/c I'm out a couple monts of prime driving time.

Chef - I want a ride in your car! Now that it's running well it's time to start thinking upgrade to 2.0L or 2056 or dare I say, 2270!?! Then sway bars, brake rebuilds, turbo tie rod ends.... Oh, the disease is taking control...
