The seals on the tubes need to be replaced. The #4 exhaust one is leaking right in front of me and the engine hasn't been run for a year. All my manuals say don't use pliers so how are they removed? Rocker arms, retaining wire and push rods are out. It wiggles a smidge but I can't get a real grip on them and they seem to be stuck to the block.
This is my first time replacing the seals so any other recommendations are appreciated. Right now I'm just trying to get the left side done (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) |

I got the #4 tubes out. I think I was on the very edge of crushing them but they came out a little scuffed but still round (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif)
The #3 tubes are not as easy so I must remove the lower cooling tin to get at them. And, of course, one of the screw heads is stripped (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) Compared to the T1-T3 engines, these T4 engines SUCK! They are not easy to work on in comparison (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif) I can't image how much the valve adjustements are gonna be as a PITA with the engine in the car. |
