I recently posted that my friend ( an experienced mechanic) has agreed to help me drop the motor in my 74 with 1.7L (yes not original) but running motor and do a refresh..
I'm about to pull the trigger on an order to the tune of about $1400 I wanted to share it and see what other suggestions and parts we should have from the start, I'm sure we will find things we need after the motor is out but for now here is this list..  |

Since I have done this now 3 times, I would do the following
1. Is your mechanic friend a VW/Porshe mechanic? If not he will have a learning curve 2. Oil leaks - chase them all PushRod Tube seals Oil Cooler Seals (VERY IMPORTANT) Front and rear - you already had this Oil Pressure gauge - always leaks at the seal Transmission Seals (any 1st or 2nd grinding? replace dog teeth) - Engine coupling seal - Shift Rod Seal -trans-axle seals (if leaking) - transmission Vent - needs to be at 200degrees from North (front is north) or this is a huge source of tranny oil all over you garage - ask me how I know..... 3. Air leaks - vacuum Make certain since you have the engine out that the Plenum is 100% sealed and that the manifold cloth connectors are very tight and do not leak All of the other stuff is ok, yes, get a complete Renz or similar kit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) As to AA and Pelican - they will talk to you and they REALLY know these cars, so it becomes what you are in need of and the service you may expect. Last, buy the 700 things book from AA, I found it to be an excellent reference in many things that should be looked at when this car is apart, Last, dirty work - wear gloves.......grin (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Happy Fourth! - (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) |
