Edit to make sense :-)
So as I am in the middle of backdating my exhaust system, it was hard not to notice how much oil/grime was in the heating tubes (everything that connects to the exchangers and heater hose under the car). On each side there is a connection to the fan houseing and I am assuming that that's where the grime comes from. Seems like there should be some kind of filter or something to keep the tubes from getting filled with crap. At least that's how I felt after spending a day trying to clean 'em out. |

Yup, worked like a charm! Thanks Kevin. They are all ready for some high-temp paint now.
After painting, I'll be installing a timesert and a 9mm x 8mm exhaust stud to repair the one that stripped out soon too. Then I should probably see where the oil leaks are coming from. My guess is that one of them is coming from the oil cooler- maybe the oil cooler seals? Seems to me I saw someone say that the oil cooler seals could be reaplced with the engine in the car. With any luck I'll have the exhangers on within a couple of weeks. Off to temp the 914 world search engine gods to see if I can find some info on installing oil cooler seals.... |
