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?? |

Drank some of Shane's (red914) birthday Whiskey and look for the origin of his VERY BIG oil leak. went back to the Makers Mark before we found it!
Ugmo got some new windshield wipers and re painted the gauge cluster to black. PO had used a silver foil like finish. It was SO ugly! Tore off the matching dash panel. rewired the gauges so now I have a temp gauge, tach (not too bouncey), and 150mph speedo. I had to change out the fuel sender unit. The PO tried to go for the 916 look with a vdo gas gauge in the dash, but it never worked. I don't think the donor sender is working, but all the idiot lights work! I replaced all the bulbs with BRAND NEW ONES! Woo HOO! I also sprayed all the bare metal spots on the red car with some paint. I just have no time to weld that car together just now... |
