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..!!

Volunteered as a "course engineer" at the local PCA driver's skills day. That means I got to chase down cones all day with no driving. It rained all day.
One poor guy put a 996 into the concrete barrier nose first. The airbags went off and tha radiator was leaking, not to mention the sheetmetal. So, he was worse off than me. I finally got some enthusiasm to work on my car. I rebuilt the fresh air box so it doesn't leak cold air all the time. I'm getting ready to put the old engine back in it so I hope to be on the road in a week or 2. Dave |
