I had my car up on jack stands with a long Dirk Wright list going on..
My Van died... I went out, basically removed tons of items from the list and put the car back together..tranny installed, muffler on..finished up a few things, nothing majore, tune up and oil change...and DROVE IT...again... What a great f-in car...the van is big and takes turns slow... The 914....oh I missed it. The list of todo's can wait...I will do one at a time instead of getting in so deep I cant drive it again...I hate when that happens, but it did happen to me this time. Beware of DWD.....it creaps up and bites you like the flu and there is no vaccine. So yes, it has a nice salty coating again...gotta keep the rust fed. Nice thing is water removes salt, so a daily bath that takes 5 minutes is part of the program...a weekly run the the pressure washer is also part of the program... Ahhh, the price we pay to drive year round. This thing has more heat than my van....always amazes me...and it comes on way faster than either of my other cars...or the van. Rich |

When you go to put the rocker covers back on, go to the hardware store....get 1/4 inch rubber washers for the bottom screws.
Get longer screw for the bottom to go through the rubber washers. Place the rubber washer between the rocker cover and the bottom of the long. Run the new screw through the rocker cover, then the washer, into the long. The net result is a space between the bottom of the rocker (you wont see it, trust me) so that when you shoot a hose in from either end of the rocker, the dirt and debris has a place to get out... If you remount the rocker covers as the stock setup dictates, the debris has no place to leave and then sits at the bottom of the rocker cover and starts the rust process all over again. Rich |
