I believe Paul’s story was when the cooler blew, the front lid was open and blew oil all over the shop.

I'm in the club. pretty new mocal 25 row. Started car on cold day, maybe 25 F. No therostat or pressure relief. Oh well, knew it might happen. It was cold, I was at the shop, had ran it two hours before and that was my ride home. rolled the dice.
Think I Ubered. |

I got lucky... the system was all air at first. When I heard bubbling air escaping at the cooler I shut her down. Lost at most a quart of oil.

QUOTE(roblav1 @ Jun 27 2020, 04:36 PM)  I got lucky... the system was all air at first. When I heard bubbling air escaping at the cooler I shut her down. Lost at most a quart of oil. I lost 16 quarts on the driveway and garage floor. I put down kitty litter in the garage, and let it sit for about 3 weeks before cleaning it up. It soaked up all the spilled oil and left the floor clean. The driveway still has a stain on it. |

Ok, new oil cooler installed, fixed the oil filter console, and added oil. Engine up and running now. Charging properly, oil temp and pressure gauges work, no operable tach. Now to time it and set the carbs up.
Ben's 3 outlet muffler is quieter than anticipated, at least with the GT outlets closed. Clutch,transaxle, shifter all work. Tightest shift mechanism I ever felt on a 914 or 911. Boxster brakes work, handbrake works, doors and window mechanisms working. I swapped the left and right inner door latches. Left side on right and vv... prefer to use inside hand to open the door from inside. Need windshield, trim, sun visors, and license plate lights. End is in sight. |
