So, now that my 1.8L is running happy again, I’m able to notice small issues. Today I noticed that my throttle body appears to have some wear inside it. Idle was a little high and when I pushed on the linkage arm, it returned to normal.
So, I think a full rebuild is in order. And if it happens to come out a little larger, we that wouldn’t bother me a bit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Who would you recommend to make my throttle better than new? |

Yeah Mark, I can’t really say who he was talking about as there isn’t really anyone I can find that does this service professionally. I also don’t know what he means by adding a positive vertical locking feature for the shaft?
I understand your reluctance to invest in cad plating equipment given your “hobby” status. I’ve come close to buying a 5 gal bucket type setup myself, but I just don’t have enough use for it since I replace all the old bolts I take off. What do you think about stepping up to be the full service guy? Van |

Hey Mark,
I setup a plating line and my only thought to pass on is keep the muratic acid stuff outside or in a well ventilated area. I minimized the open container for plating and it rusted anything that was bare metal in my shop. It's pretty rewarding when you see the finished product, but it does take some tinkering to get it right. Chris |
