Dropped the engine yesterday and starting to pull things apart - but having internet problems uploading pics.
Putting in AA's new Cylinder Heads & 96mm P's & C's. Can't wait. More pics when I can get uploading to work - downloading is fine.... GN (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/hosting.photobucket.com-21449-1659712197.1.JPG) |

FINISHED REBUILDING TRANNY!
With the great help of Rick B all the way, today we finished rebuilding the tranny. Many thanks to Mike Lesniak's great videos, answers to personal emails, Mark Lindner's tools that he rents for a small fee. NEW AND REPLACED: 1st & Reverse Sliding gear, 1st Gear loose, 1 synchro ring for 1st and 1 set of dog-teeth for 2nd gear. About $900. All other parts of the tranny looked brand new. I can't wait to drive the car as much for the tranny as the engine. I had no synchro in 1st gear, and an occasional unavoidable "crunch" going into 2nd, so having those issues gone will be wonderful. Also along the way: new throw-out bearing, renewed faces of flywheel & pressure plate - both looked good. Clutch plate was new from PO thicker than original. Also new front and rear main seals installed. Hoped I could get case cleaner than I did, but it's the best I could do. Some pics along the way after ones above......
