After getting very little 914 time in yesterday, today I accomplished the following:
Using a wire disk on a dremel, I de-carbonized my head chambers. Using a wire disk on a drill, I de-carbonized all my valves. What a thankless chore. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Removed all the gears from my tranny and two other donor trannys. I discovered that my tranny had a busted bearing race in the intermediate plate on my pinion shaft. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Fortunately, one of the donors has a good one. Also it looks like I have good low and second gear syncros, dog teeth & sliders from the donors. And I now have an additinal 5th gear to swap for my 3rd! Will have it confirmed tomorrow, but it looks like I may be pulling about 1,000.00 worth of parts from these two donor trannys (which were given to me for free). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Just wanted to say thanks to Craig Mitchell, a list member, for offering his air conditioned shop and expertise to accomplish this. Still have to lap valves, lap cylinders to the heads that were flycut, hone the cylinders, paint the engine bay and tin, but am getting close to starting re-assembly. Oh yeah, have to re-assemble the tranny. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) It's just nice to be making some progress. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |
