I will drive my car tomorrow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) , I am almost done about an hour of fiddling about and i will fire it up. I am turning the boost down to around 8 bar and will try my best to stay out of it until i get the Kevlar clutch bedded in, in about 500 miles of easy stop and go driving.

I've drained the Brad Penn oil out and refilled it with Valvoline R1 racing oil 40wt, it was on sale for 2.99 a quart., so i picked up a few cases of 40wt, 50wt and 20/50.

The Brad Penn leaked so bad, i am hoping with my re-sealing everything and switching to a Dino oil, the oil will stay in the engine, i was tired of painting the floor green, gets expensive.....

I will give you an update.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

I have to laugh (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) , i am turning it down from 1.5 bar to .8 to .7 bar. around 12lbs to 10 lbs. my wastegate spring is set to .7.

The car is ready to roll but it's raining! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)

Seems there is a little oil leaking from what i believe is the flywheel seal, no leaking from the other areas as before but the engines not been under load yet.

I hope the Flywheel seal will seal it self, sitting sometimes make things leak but can swell after driving it for awhile. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) if not, at least i wont have to remove the engine to replace it, only the tranny.

Hey Chappy

Sunny out this morning, hope you can get it out before it changes and starts raining again here. Not sure if I should work on the car or build an ark. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Hope your surgery goes well.

Just got back from driving the car around for 5 miles re-adjusted the clutch and the oil seems to be staying in the engine, the oil i was seeing may of been old stuff running when the engine heated up because all is dry now.... I'm going for another drive now, see ya!

I put 20 miles on it during my last drive, so far the engine is still dry, not a drip in sight....

I cant wait till i can put the hammer down to see if the clutch will hold..

No luck at all, big leak happened at the flywheel seal yesterday while out for a drive.
I ask myself WHY didn't i check it when the engine was out. I started to pull the tranny this morning and will do the repair with the engine in the car, I hope my new clutch didn't get soaked with oil, but i think it probably did, the bell housing is a mess, what a waste.

Sorry to hear man!

I've never been able to seal up my T4 engine as now matter what I do, I seem to find a puddle after it has been sitting for a long while.

My 993 engine is starting to leak as well. I guess now is the time to start the leak chasing parade...

I just got done getting the car back together tonight, i dont think i can handle anymore setbacks. I have had 3 surgeries 2 in the past two weeks and i am still crawling around under the car pulling on the stitches and having to devise ways of lifting things and putting force on stuff without straining myself. I must be crazy but i just have to get this car on the road for the summer.

I've replaced the flywheel seal twice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) because of my rushing to slap it back together. I was able to take care of a few things that needed addressing besides the oil leak, i replace a helicoil on one of my exhaust studs with an ezlok, there sort of like a timecert but removable and very heavy duty, no way it will ever pull out. I added two small electric fans to my transmission cooler and re-fabricated the ducting to make it easier to get to. I also made a new oil breather out of a stainless steel subzero water bottle, my other one was way to big, this one looks cooler than the big money ones and it was only 2.99 at Walgreens.

I'm having a beer now then i am going cleanup, change my surgical dressings, go to bed, and will test the car tomorrow. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

My stuff is nothing like what you've been through but it has been scary none the less.
I had melanoma cancer removed from my leg 4 weeks ago and they went back again to take more last week, then last Friday i had Mohs surgery done on my face, they remove a good portion of my left cheek i will have an Edward Sissorhands look to me when you see me next.
The good thing is they caught it soon enough, my wife made me an appointment to see a dermatologist last month, all the doctors i have seen have reminded me that my wife saved my life. I am very grateful that she did this for me, i owe her my life, and will forever be her slave.
I know i would of never done anything about it until it was to late..

I am on the mend now and cant wait to check out the car you got from TC

Great news! car is on the road, zero oil leaks, underside of engine is dry as a bone.
Now just need to put some miles on the clutch to see if it can hold a blast off.

Driving around has been great! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) no more hosing the engine down with brake cleaner after a drive.
It's going to be hard driving it around easy for the next 500 or so miles to break in the Kevlar clutch, i only slightly touched boost last night and the clutch slipped immediately (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) i got the peddle in as fast as i could and was off the gas. I will report more as i log some more miles.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)
