Crusin to work yesterday on I-83 into the construction areas. You know that spot where the new asphalt starts, its quite a bit higher, so they usually build up a little mini ramp. Well,... This particular spot did not seem to have that ramp, 65mph speed bump. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)
Any way BAM is the sound I here and everything seems fine. Stop for gas and check the oil level, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) The battery is lying sideways on top of the mps and fuel rail... The tray is still attached to the battery but no longer attached to the car, Car seems fine otherwise. But I will not drive it till I tack it back. I did not see any rust, Damn thing just gave up. One more thing to fix (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Damn! That's gonna leave a mark.
On mine? Just the driver. Nasty cold/flu/thing. Didn't even want to take the top off this week. Which sucked 'cause it's been 70+ all week. |

Other than my motor making very loud tapping sounds and emitting plumes of oil smoke from the exhaust my car seems to be fine. Well, except for the large pool of oil below the car that has recently developed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Did some modification to the shift linkage (pics here http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...76333&st=75 ) and I was all anxious to get it off the stands and take her for a test drive. I hit the toggle switch for the starter and "click". F*$#!!! Long story short, the starter itself was dead. I went and got one of those $119 mini starters from eBay. Well, turns out the clearance issues that I was warned about were legitimate. I now have to machine an aluminum spacer to go in between the starter and the tranny (none of that washer shimming sh*t for me). No big deal. I reverse engineered it today and should be able to get it done Monday, but that's still another weekend that I'm not driving my car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) It never ends.

Stop over tomorrow and we will get that welded back in.
I'll be out Sunday, doing stuff with inlaws, but I have Saturday to work on cars. If you come over, we can check the area and make sure you don't have any other rust waiting to bust open your car. Too pretty for that. Zach |

I drive mine to work every day, and yesterday morning, my driver-side inside door latch stopped working. At least it's not too far to reach through an open window to get to the outer door handle...
I guess I just need to add the door latch to the weekend's projects: front polybronze bearings, turbo tie-rods, replace lower steering column bearing, and replace the temporary 911 steering rack I installed a few months ago with my reconditioned 914 steering rack. Oh, and install a tight hose clamp on the rubber steering coupler (in order to minimize steering slop from the rubber coupler). Oops, I forgot to mention installation of the electrical washer fluid switch in the steering column. And of coure next weekend, complete the clutch recondition (using the Auto Atlanta kit), install the new Bursch muffler and rear valence. The rest of the month is scheduled in stripping the paint from the car and completing some minor body work as the paint shop is expecting me in late November.

Where to start, over about a month and a half every other week I had to keep adjusting up 2 opposing rockers, well I knew what was up, finally swapped out the motor, tore her down and found 2 lifters going flat.
Over the last 4 weeks, I have been cleaning this and prepping that as funds would allow, and getting close for re-assembly, yesterday after going over the 80mm crank and finding some pitting from air bubbles when the jrl's were welded up, I decided to have the crank turned under, well during the grinding process it was found 2 of the 4 jrl's had cracks going from the oil hole to the jrl radius, so the crank is junk. I have a spare crank & flywheel prepped sitting on the shelf, but it's only a 75mm stroke and due to low funds right now it's a cheap option. So today I was getting some prep work done to a case, and basically the case turns out to be junk. And the sad part, the case was bushed for Type 1 lifters. I have another case but it needs to be fully checked out, cleaned, line bore checked, holes tapped, cyl spigots opened up, then cleaned again for assembly, basically just everything that was just done to the junk case. It's just more time & money, so maybe next week for the case work ? Most of the time motors go together with out a single issue they almost fall together by them selves, then on an occasion you get the Domino Effect's build. Going back and really thinking about it, it could of been greasy finger prints on the jrl's that caused them to crack ? And if I had cleaned the stains from my Starbucks Triple off the 2 lifters they probably wouldn't have gone flat. And if I hadn't had my radio to loud the resonating sound waves wouldn't of damaged the case. So is this enough breakage for everyone ? ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) |

I noticed a vibrating sound from the rear window when I go over bumps. It sounds like I'll have to seal it up. And, my rear suspension console needs to be replaced. But, that will have to wait.

Left rear tire has a slow leak. As soon as I get it on the winter jackstands, this will not be a problem anymore till spring. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
