Rob just called me. Engine let go this morning in Stockton, on the way to the autocross. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Sounds like a piston skirt broke off and trapped itself between the crank and case, and then blew its way out. Now he's got to wait for a tow truck. Ooooooh man. Poor Rob. I'm sure he'll have some pictures (with garbage cans) when he get's it back to his place. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) |

The only things that will be reused from the old engine are the crank, heads... The external oil lines are being replaced too. The case, rods, pistons, etc. will be new. Everything will be meticulously cleaned. I am not concerned about the "oiling system". Which part of the oiling system are you concerned with? I'm not calling you a dummy but hey? What is left after you replace all that? The heads will be cleaned and refreshed, the crank will be cleaned... What system? Are you imagining some elaborate system? Nope. Just a remote filter with a line in and out.
90% + of these cars are Type IV motors. If you don't want to be called names then don't start this 6 vs. 4 crap. You're outnumbered and frankly your argument is tired. If you see a thread on the Type IV motor just move along. Quit inviting people to come play in your playground too... Your not fast, your car isn't that fast either. Britain would be fast in an '80 Cavalier with bald junkyard tires... That glory isn't yours, quit claiming it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/KMA.gif) Back on the gas... Yesterday I dropped the BMW off at the dealership for a check. It just had the major service interval in May and I have put about 1300 miles on since. It was killing at stop light/signs so I asked them to look it over to see if something was incorrectly adjusted at the service interval. Yopu dropped me off this morning and the service manager told me to come on back, he had my fuel filter skinned open and it was full of water and gum. It was replaced at the service. Yup. You guessed it, it got some of that gas too. Road it around Lake Tahoe this afternoon and got home an hour ago. Ran like a top with the new fuel filter. |

I did build every bit of my car so I should get a few of the bragging rights. You checkbook "builders" haven't a clue as to what that involves. The car & Brit were fast enough to lay it on every 914 at the Shoot Out in Ca last year. I notice you weren't there. When you get to be my age 2 seconds off his pace is about all one can expect.......still fast enough to whip you like a dog in the street,..no great accomplishment there. Since you are being an asshole, I'll feel free to say that one would have to have less mechanical sympathy than a 3rd world goat herder to let bad gas destroy an engine. Write another check, chump. My work here is done. |

The car & Brit were fast enough to lay it on every 914 at the Shoot Out in Ca last year. You inched ahead of a stock 2.0 ( at that time ) powered car with an open diff ( at that time ) and the wrong tires the first day, and then lost the second day when we put some DOT tires on the car. We need to have another one of these events next year so you can see how well you can lay it on us with double the power and a limited slip... Oh and this time you need to remember that it's against the rules down here to have a geezer warming the tires for their hotshoe driver in the same rungroup. It's all in good fun though, but when you start boasting about winning by a tenth on your own averaged combination of times as "laying it on us" you might want to check on your facts. BTW I'm serious about having another shootout, that was pretty fun... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) We are having another but up in the Southern portion of Washington on August 8th and 9th. You should come Chris. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) JP... leave it alone...Rob is a very nice guy who has done a lot for people wo really didn't deserve it. Shit happens but there really doesn't need to be a pissing match between an old guy and and an over confident arogant engine builder. You both are 914 guys and the car brings us all together. In person I am sure we would allBS and laugh about this. |
