Pizza and sodas for all - if you want beer, you'll have to bring your own.

I was originally going to pull the engine and trannny, but since the only work on the engine will be a rear main seal and checking the flywheel, I think the engine can stay in. Anybody got any suggestions for the best way to support the engine at the rear?

The work should go fairly fast which means if anyone wants to get their car on the lift it will be open. We'll start about 10:00 AM, but we'll be here for awhile so show up when you can.

Don't forget, the 11th is the first day of Daylight Savings Time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) so set your clocks to spring forward on Sat. night.

My address is: 2020 NE 40th St., Renton. I'm about .3 mile east of Exit 7 (NE 44th) off I-405, past the McDonalds.

Please let me know if you're going to make it so I can plan refreshments accordingly. See you then.

I see "congratulations is in order" as well...where will you be moving to? I also liked the PPSFT...land in close is a special thang! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Tomorrow is going to be 914 weather!

Getting ready for the work. Car on lift, rear wheels are off, tranny fluid drained, CVs not unbolted 'cause I don't have a triple square (thought I did).

Here's my solution for supporting the rear of the engine. I'd saved an old serpentine belt from my Explorer which is long enough to go under the engine and wrap around the trailing arms with enough length to double up and secure with vise grips. I think it will work fine.....any opinions?



What could possibly go wrong? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

It was great meeting all of you today.

How many people does it take to remove a transmission from a 914? Apparently only 2, Mark and James. And about half a dozen people to supervise. :-)

It was a good time and I enjoyed meeting new people and seeing some I’ve met before a long time ago. We should meet up more often.

Wish I could’ve made it but my 914 decided it didn’t want to start. Suspect distributor plate. Will need to dig into it next weekend.
Sorry I missed all the fun!

Great turnout, thanks to all! James(jcambo) was the man; he jumped in and kind of took over. Nothing like having an aircraft crew chief taking stuff apart. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Nice 914 representation with a real-6, /6 conversion and a -4 in the parking lot...not to mention a white /6 donor car.

Good to meet Mark(plays with cars) and catch up with others I haven't seen for awhile. We'll have to do it again soon.

I'll post a couple of pics when I get problems with my photo software figured out. (anybody using the Mac Photo program? PM me for a tutorial).

Lastly, I've discovered a leaking pushrod tube that makes me wish I'd gone through with the original plan of pulling engine/trans as a unit. Live and learn.

The party was long over by the time I arrived, but I did at least get to meet Marc and see what the car looks like with no transaxle.

Afterward, stowed the roof in the trunk for the drive home. That was the last time I was able to open the trunk until a few minutes ago.

So another get together in a couple weeks to pull the engine...? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

I'm going to try to get it out myself, but maybe another get together to put it back in.

Let me put it this way, I was 15 when my car was manufactured. So yes, I look and many times feel old but in my mind I still think like a 15 year old.

Maturity is overrated! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Thanks for hosting us all Marc! Great to see everyone!
