What did you do this weekend????, Only 914 work of course.... Options

[crash914]

I pulled my motor and went to work on the oil leaks.....

First pulled the trans and addressed the rear seal...It was only flush. Tapped it in until tight. ok that was no problem.

Now to address the weeping from a galley plug that I installed...pulled it out, re-sealed it with high temp pipe seal. so far so good..

Now to the oil pump...flatteded the case, got a good seal and re-installed....all right looking good!

pulled the plugs and found my jumper cables. Time to spin it up..I grab my compression gage just for grins...

1&2 150# ok not bad.. #4 is 50 # WTF???? #3 is 150#????

hmmmm. The plugs from 1&2 were wet and dark, from 3&4 light and tan?? Ok my linkage is off I can see that. But what about the pressure???

Time to take a break. go and get all the cables and battery out again...I know, I will look at the valves...oh yes this is the rocker assembly that I had a problem with...yep, valves are tight...loosen and re-perform pressure check....whew...up to around 150#..I was only running on 3 cylinders!!! and my linkage was way bad.....!!

When I get this sorted out this will be one bad running car..!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

Drove the living piss out of it.
Attended an Autocross school Friday Saturday. and raced Sunday.
Burned over 1/2 tank of gas inthe school drove ALL day long. Let a Ford owner who broke his car drive the teener for his seat time. Once he learned how to shift it he did OK but was really over driving the tires. He did have this shit eating grin when he got out. Mumbling something like "holy crap that thing turn quick"

I am getting pretty consistant with my times so now I just need to keep it clean and search for the faster line. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif)

Got the wife in the car for a ride along I think she is bit by the racing bug (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif)
I finished neck and neck with 2nd generation Toyota Turbo MR-2 . My raw time was faster but clipped a cone (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) putting me in 2nd place for SM-2 class.
BTW car didn't miss a beat all weekend even with other people banging gears and rev limiter. Finnished off the night with a 125 mile drive home and made a quick jump to 115 MPH with ALOT more to go.
