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)

Fixed both door locks, lubricated internal door locking parts - now both doors close perfect AND lock/unlock - step 1 in driving it beyond the parking lot....

Replaced front pads just to see if it would improve the brakes (R4S)...it did.

WAS planning on taking a few days off to re-do the entire brake system(19mm m/c. caliper kits, hoses, rotors, bearings and Porterfield pads all around) and install my Bilsteins/springs/ball joints/turbo tierods/solid A-arm bushings etc. but may have to wait a few months yet for 3 days of good days of weather to strike Colorado!
