And so it begins.
I have been driving the car every day since the 2056 went in. It goes from Baltimore To York PA multiple times a day. I drive kinda quick and really enjoy the power. Of course there have been hiccups along the way, trying to slow me down. IE clutch pedal pin sheering off, exhaust falling apart, SNOW (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) , and of course the usual D-Jet Gremlins. Until today. I adjusted all the valves last week to spec "0" lash, timing is on point. Car is running awesome, comming down 83 when I get to the end of the expressway. Car starts running on 3 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) then I see the white smoke comming from seemingly under the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Pull over and pop the lid, there is a solid quart of oil dripping from the top of the lid, spatter on the side of the bay (driverside) pool of oil on the engine shelf (driver side) and a pool of oil in the middle near the filler. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) I take it step by step, holding my chin up. Wipe all oil away, remove breather box and check all vacume connections. AHHA! The connection from the passenger side port came off of the three way connector going to the air box. BUT WHY ! and why so much oil! and Why is number one no longer firing. Closer inspection of #1 reveals the fuel pressure regulator in its position is soaked and dripping with oil from the bottom, but clean and dry on the top. Pull the plug wire and the plug is also dripping with oil from the top white area. O.K. relax breathe Go to pull the plug to have a peak. NOPE Will turn a 1/4 turn and then i can feel the extension start to flex. It is permantly attached to the head. I tried it all. S T U C K (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) I have a great running 3 cylinder porsche, number one is dead. I have no idea what happend, what I do know is that i have verified spark right down to the plug by putting another plug inline to ground. Verified fuel (switching injectors) and I cant verify compression with a plug in the hole (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) My Hershey Emergency is officially under way.

My Tags and Inspection exprired when he had mine. Waiting is frustrating though. Hang in there Joe. In retro spec knowing what I know, if I had to do it again I'd still take it to him, his work is excellent. Doug |
