Dropped the engine yesterday and starting to pull things apart - but having internet problems uploading pics.
Putting in AA's new Cylinder Heads & 96mm P's & C's. Can't wait. More pics when I can get uploading to work - downloading is fine.... GN (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/hosting.photobucket.com-21449-1659712197.1.JPG) |

3 years and 5,000 miles ago this engine and tranny had been soda-blasted and were nice and clean.
What you see is the result of my living 1/2 mile from a paved road, my drive running mostly through a neighbors property. It's neither gravel nor paved - semi-paved in used-asphalt millings, which, when put down and driven on for s few months was almost like asphalt. 7 years later, no more. Still, it's much better than gravel. I can clean my engine and bay to spit-polish clean - and one drive up my drive covers the engine in dust - especially in dry summer. I have new engine bay seals but they don't seem to help much. Wish I could almost hermetically seal the engine bay so all air comes in top - but guess what? Even then the dusty air coming in the top on a dry summer day comes off the tires into the engine bay. I'd love it if a genius out there could find a solution for me. GN |
