Sold all the 914s and bought this '84 Wasserboxer Westy:

It's been nice knowing you all ... see ya over on Samba (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)


Actually, I treated some surface rust on the belly pan of the 'BB' last Friday and undercoated it today:

Tomorrow, I'll lower it down to the ground, start it up, and see if the new fat 'valve' cover gaskets I installed last week stopped the oil leak. If so ... hoping to take it on the Halloween Run (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)


Also, will be stocking the shelves with parts I bought at the G&R (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ... as well as restocking all the stuff that didn't sell (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Added some low RPM accelerator pump fuel, increased the accelerator pump sensitivity and added lots more high RPM fuel.

Ahhh... Programmable fuel injection. So easy! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

Took a vicious cool top off drive up Mt. Rose Hwy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Day 104 of the "Tune up"

Today I got to the part of the "Tune Up" where the crankcase gets torqued up and measured to see if it is still a player.

I didn't, so mine's still full of $*!( ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)


'BB' is still up on the lift, it didn't want to start last night (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Put a charger on the battery, and since I haven't located a replacement passenger-side glass rocker panel yet, I removed the driver side, cleaned up both longs and sprayed under-coating on them. Guess I'll run without rocker panels for a while (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Under-coating should be dry enough to test drive it sometime today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)


Also, cleaned up a little oil residue in the engine bay and checked the wire to the oil temp gauge. Gauge checked out OK. It hasn't registered any movement since we installed the new drive train, so looks like the taco sensor might be bad. Fresh Brad Penn 20/50 with only 700 miles in there now ... so I'll wait until it's time to change the oil to replace the sensor.

Punched a few holes. Gotta love that greenlee die set! Had to make my own flange die to go big enough but that was pretty easy

Is it the hydraulic pump type? Like cutting butter with a hot knife.

More work on the 'BB' today.

Finally bolted my 'temporary' EMPI oil breather to the firewall (it was Ty-Wrapped in for the RT-66 Run and flopping around, spilling oil everywhere) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ... and re-routed the hoses.

Readjusted the front suspension height.

I found the problem with my oil temp gauge issue. The wire was disconnected from the spade terminal at the sensor, but was still crimped on to the jacket (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) ... installed a new terminal (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

With the battery all charged up, started it up and checked for oil leaks. NONE (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)
914Rubber.com valve cover gaskets are 'BB' approved (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ... Thanks Mark (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)


Around midnight, hopped on the Harbor Fwy and drove several miles south, then back to the shop to check it out. Still needs some carb fine tuning (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Had another clogged idle jet, cylinder #3 this time. I really need to find out where this crud is coming from (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

The tank is clean, there's a new Carter pump & filter under the tank, new SS fuel lines, all new hoses (the expensive stuff) and there's another filter in the engine bay (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Put the car back on the lift, swept the shop floor and came home. It's 4:30am - good night (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yellowsleep[1].gif)

Oldschool, Nice...........Clean up and New seals got me to here. If you look at things too closely you may end up here also. it is a slippery slope. What year/size is that motor?
