I'm just "wading" into this project since it rolled off the shipping truck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yikes.gif) 99% rust free California car now in SoCal after sitting in a garage for years without being (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif). My neighbors are now giving me the "hairy eyeball" since I fired it up to pull it up into the garage....and it was a bit loud (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) . Now taking inventory of what it is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) and making a list of what-to-do and in what order it might be done. I'm starting with draining and renewing all water, oil, brake and transmission fluids. I expect the juices to be a little funky since just sitting unused continues the 'chemistry'. The wiring looks a little scary too. Many of them in the engine compartment (box behind driver) were cut and lead nowhere. Hum. It would be good to hear from other V8 'Loons' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) who may be able to help me avoid to much (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif). Let the 914 madness continue! |

Changed the oil since car has been sitting 5+ years. BUT, I put new oil filter on and by the next morning it's dripping (up on stands) @ yellow arrow ABOVE the rubber filter seal (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)
Hum.....tore it apart and stared at this dohicky: I removed, broke it down and inspected the pieces: That black rubber piece looks ok but I did not like the design when researching for alternatives. Here's what the engine block looks like without abouve and the here's the alternative: This setup uses a wider filter AND it's rubber gasket makes direct contact with the block thus eliminating the earlier extra gasket. NO MORE LEAKING (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) |
