Thank you!

Smoke signals from engine to driver: not on fire, but losing oil pretty quick.

Near Radar O'Reily's home in Iowa, I saw clouds of smoke coming from trhe engine bay. No flames. Long story short, a small machine screw holding engine tin had backed out. The worst part is that the screw normally plugged a hole connected to the cam tower oil gallery. Not sure if this is normal for a six, but the oil certainly oozed out of the hole pretty fast. And then onto the headers, giving a warning sound.

So near Cedar Falls Iowa I pulled into a Kum and Go parking lot. Using the stock jack I managed to lift the car and destroy the jack. Anyone looking to sell a stock jack at RRC I am your guy. Got the right rear wheel off and put my new collapsible jack stands in use. To plug the hole I looked around and removed this

This is the donor screw location

To fill this spot. Experts can chime in as to whether this ought to plug an oil passage on the cam tower.

Getting better and better at spotting natural ramps for elevating the car. A deep swale is great.

Good luck at Harbor Freight tomorrow.

Shouldnt be a leaker ,,,Check the plug above. It does seal to cam oil circuit. Or a rocker shaft shifted..

Warren,
I think I have an extra jack in the garage. Let me take a look. If I do it's yours for free and I'll bring to the RRC.

Anyone coming from the Phoenix AZ area happen to have room to carry a ft hood and bumper?

I'll buy ya a beer or three

That would be grand, but I would insist on something in return. Beer, or whatever. Thanks again.
Warren

Thanks. I thought so too. But from my very awkward angle it looks like a helicoil or time cert. Perhaps drilled a bit too far? I will double check that oil line.

I have an extra one as well that I'll never use. It's yours.

Warren,
Looks the only one I can find is out of a later model bug, it will work but not an original. You might want to take up @mgp4591 on his offer as well. Here is a pic, let me know.

We do have a 914 shop here guys...

Eric,
I'm trying to get it out of my garage and into his. LOL
But seriously, I do have a handful of parts I'll let go for free and bring them with me if anyone wants/needs them.
(4.5 steel wheels, 1.7 hub caps, older foam steering wheel, a few interior parts, door panel parts)
PM me if you need anything.
Mike

AWESOME! Eric officially added "Parking Lot Shenanigans" to the schedule for Friday. NOW it's a real 914 event!

Meow that wouldn't be very nice!

Clay, it's a tradition similar to others but has been officially tagged as SHENANIGANS...
Your compliance and participation is encouraged...thank you!

Testing the Toad

It should be easy. Slits has some pretty small shoes to fill.

Who all is arriving in town early and are there any pre event get togethers going on?

Goodie bag day!

Posted at 80mph on hwy 287 headed towards Amarillo.

I'll be there late tomorrow with 914 in tow.

Hi Guys,

We made it as far as Albuquerque NM tonight. Wednesday it is off to Grand Junction to spend the night with family then we will drive up Thursday morning. I have looked at the Facebook page and the web page for the RRC and don't see much detail there... haven't had time to sift through this thread. Is there a schedule for Thursday other than check in at the hotel? Where is the part that night, and when? I see on the PMB site the "Air Cooled Bash" starts at 6pm at PMB. Is that where everyone is going?

Sorry, tired, long day driving up here from Austin. The toad did good though, no issues even with a nasty rainstorm east of here as we were coming in.

See everyone Thursday afternoon!
