And so it begins.

I have been driving the car every day since the 2056 went in. It goes from Baltimore To York PA multiple times a day. I drive kinda quick and really enjoy the power. Of course there have been hiccups along the way, trying to slow me down. IE clutch pedal pin sheering off, exhaust falling apart, SNOW (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) , and of course the usual D-Jet Gremlins. Until today.

I adjusted all the valves last week to spec "0" lash, timing is on point. Car is running awesome, comming down 83 when I get to the end of the expressway. Car starts running on 3 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) then I see the white smoke comming from seemingly under the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

Pull over and pop the lid, there is a solid quart of oil dripping from the top of the lid, spatter on the side of the bay (driverside) pool of oil on the engine shelf (driver side) and a pool of oil in the middle near the filler.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)

I take it step by step, holding my chin up.

Wipe all oil away, remove breather box and check all vacume connections. AHHA! The connection from the passenger side port came off of the three way connector going to the air box. BUT WHY ! and why so much oil! and Why is number one no longer firing.

Closer inspection of #1 reveals the fuel pressure regulator in its position is soaked and dripping with oil from the bottom, but clean and dry on the top. Pull the plug wire and the plug is also dripping with oil from the top white area.

O.K. relax breathe

Go to pull the plug to have a peak.

NOPE

Will turn a 1/4 turn and then i can feel the extension start to flex. It is permantly attached to the head. I tried it all. S T U C K

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)



I have a great running 3 cylinder porsche, number one is dead. I have no idea what happend, what I do know is that i have verified spark right down to the plug by putting another plug inline to ground. Verified fuel (switching injectors) and I cant verify compression with a plug in the hole (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)



My Hershey Emergency is officially under way.

Suck's don't it. My Tags and Inspection exprired when he had mine.
Waiting is frustrating though. Hang in there Joe.

In retro spec knowing what I know, if I had to do it again I'd still take it to him, his work is excellent.

Just talked with Tony.........


Engine was finished last week. Yay. Went on the Dyno last Thursday, few minor adjustments to fuel pressure, timing etc. Then dumped all of its oil during a good pull. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

Oil filter neck on the bottom of the case was cracked. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) No big deal, Tony has plenty of parts. BUT... now he wants to be sure that nothing happend inside the motor in the 3 seconds it took to kill the engine.

He said he will get back to me.



(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)



I feel sick to my stomach. Thanks for all the support.

Sorry, Joe.

I dropped off my 914 a while back for an engine rebuild. Decided last minute to haul the trans up to Dr Evil's lair and rebuild that too during the downtime.

It's only been 60 days for me... at least 10-15 remaining, perhaps much more.

The thought of (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) with freshly rebuilt engine & trans is keeping me going. Hoping to get it back in time for the BBQ at Matt's place... But in the meantime, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

What kind of numbers did you get from the dyno?
Its good that it dumped the oil on the dyno and not on I83. Probably saved the engine.
This is a good thing Joe. Chin up!

Update:

Engine is good to go. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Replaced the cracked part and its ready to back in the car. Tony said I am the next car on the lift, either tommorow or Friday. I am gonna cross my fingers.



(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I did look at the dyno sheet, I will post it when I get the sheet in my hand.

I saw highest number was 130hp (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I also saw 144 torque, with all the numbers very high across the whole range. WOW

This is a 2056 w/ D-Jetronic in case you guys forgot.

I am excited all over again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

I am guessing 130 at the flywheel. How much is lost in the transaxle?

I was just doing a search to figure that out. The experts say its about 25 percent loss from flywheel to tires with a 901 gearbox. Thats a lot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I had no idea.

My engine was measured at the flywheel, so when I pull out my Porsche book and it says 1973 stock 2.0 is 105hp, does that mean 79hp at the wheels?


(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)


p.s. I will post my nubers when I get them
