I drive my car everyday  Group: Members Posts: 8,367 Joined: 8-May 03 From: Tulsa, Ok. Member No.: 666  |
Went turkey and fixins shopping today. Got home and noticed oil burning smell. Washed and polished the new paint and noticed a puddle of oil underneath. Oil dripping out the flywheel inspection hole. Half a pint maybe. Not a big deal, but it is my daily driver. I have a running 1.8 with dual 34s in a wrecked car. Plan is to remove 1.8, remove carbs, install a freshly painted set of 1.7 tins, plenum, and runners, move my fi items, minus ecu and mps, and install in my car. I'll have three days, and Brian, my right hand. I think we can do it. Won't be able to get started till Friday. Has to be done by next Monday. Can I do it?
Btw, it's a 2056, raby 9550 cam, with 70 plus thousand. It's definitely time for a refresh. |

Yes it is possible, I one day if you have the painted tin ready to go.
Remove the carbs now, get them soaking for a late night clean up and rebuild. Remove as many screws as you can between now and Friday night, there are quite a few you can reach from the engine bay... Order up a set of new cheese head screws, you will be happy. Stuff them into a piece of foam and paint them the same color as the new tin. Rich |
