[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)

Saturday I was at the Festival of Speed helping out as a volunteer. My efforts paid off as I was able to testrun the Autocross track for free a few times (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) Had to stop after my 4th lap because my oil light kept coming on from hitting the turns so hard. Came home and installed a tunacan to subvert the issue.

Sunday, overslept and missed the A-X event (too much to drink the night before?) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) Wokeup and helped my Dad install a new catalytic perverter for my Mom's 911SC. The bolts were rusted on so bad at the manifold and muffler we ended up making a trip to pepboys to some M8x1.25x40mm bolts which ended up being almost an hour venture. Finished with her car around 4pm. Part of that time I was installing a new ignition switch in my car. It failed yesterday. Like "I give up!" zero working condition. I'm glad I ordered a replacement a few months ago because I wasn't going to replace it until it failed completely.
