well, it's running great right now, so if i just put the 3.6L on hold, i'll be able to get away with an oilchange and a gallon of windshield cleaner fluid ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) but knowing me, i'm probably tear it down completely just in time for the WCC ...

interestingly enough, i just read a book about that ... they were talking about teleporting a whole car and what it would take. so far, they can only teleport a few photons at once (which in itself is pretty amazing), so my bet is you're SOOL ...

photons are better than nothing....is progress... I think I would settle for a virtual presence...full 3D holographic presence... that would also be cool, and that works..kinda Rich |

JB Weld, toothpicks and dental floss. If that don't work, duct tape. Otherwise get a new spring. How's the valve? For that matter how's the piston? I feel for ya Dave |

Hey nice rack! -Celette Group: Members Posts: 20,795 Joined: 30-December 02 From: Now in Superior WI Member No.: 43 Region Association: Northstar Region |
I located a set of springs at 928 int. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wavey.gif) (Hi Mark) I filled the port with sovent and had a slight leak past the valve. So the valve may be fudged. The pistons are fine. The bores are fine. I have a gasket set (soon) Here's my problem, I'm such a control freak about who works on my stuff, I'm having a real problem trusting a machine shop to work on my heads. I think I located an experienced guy but he's 180 miles away and doesn't readily return calls... I've had some real bad experiences with machine shops. |

I just adjusted the carb on the new 914 so...
I might have to wash it before I can take it to WCC. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif) To be fair, I should really repalce those pesky push rod tube seals. But it's not necessary. |

My motor should be done this week so that will be out of the way. The tranny has a fresh rebuild so I don't need to deal with that.
I would like to have the 5 lug conversion, paint and interior done before July. I'll still go as long as the mechanicals are sorted out. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/piratenanner.gif) |
