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) as it was this is a rocket with plenty of torque....it just lights up the tires in 1st and 2nd....time for (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) So what did you do?? |

hehe, someone installed the MPS cover 90 degrees off. The vents should be facing down!
I worked on the Westy, replacing the pushrod seals, cleaning (7 cans of brake cleaner), new oil filter and oil change, valve adjustment, fixed some exhaust leaks, installed the engine tin foam seal, fixed the rear window defogger, got the radio to work and got the wipers to work. Found lots more hp with the valve adjustment as they were set way to loose. Warmed up the Westy and it sounds so much better, almost quiet! Good thing its running good cuz my daily driver 94 Ranger blew its pinon gear on Thursday. Located a junk yard rear end so got to pick it up today.. cant wait until the weekend for more dirty work. 914 needs a big lump of cash to move to the next level.... Geoff |
