Yes, Wayne is clearly wrong.....nice pic of the how not to make it work. tho.
A 180 deg rotation (end for end) would have it right. |

Scott, sorry for the crap pic - shoved the camera under the car and snapped the passenger side: you can see the access you have for the front 6 nuts. Where the rear suspension comes in close is what you need to grind for. Otherwise you'll be dropping the engine every time you need to get at the valves.
edit: and even though the 2 lower nuts at the back are accessible without grinding, if you don't take those ribs down too you'll never slip a wrench in to reach the uppers  |

QUOTE(MDG @ Oct 23 2009, 11:35 AM)  tranny end gets the grind; you can access the nuts up front no problem It's not access to the nuts, it's getting those rebs past the studs and the suspension pivot ear. The Cap'n |

I wish – Amy was notified today that she needs to attend a meeting in MN on Monday morning – she flies out tomorrow morning. My weekend is jacked. At this point I will be lucky to get a couple hours with a rake in my hand during the girls nap time. Sounds crazy, but I really enjoy raking leaves – it’s the bagging that stinks!!! Hopefully get some pics of Izzy jumping in the piles… and piles… and piles…….. Hopefully some dremel time based on this thread as well! Here you go Mr Gint…. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=100351 You guys have fun - supposed to be fantastic tomorrow.... then (IMG:style_emoticons/default/santa_smiley.gif) on Sunday...

Scott, I have been a fan of your Martini GT for ever. Glad it's getting a proper motor now. I just milled the standard warped covers flat again and I've not had any leaks since
