Been doin' my end of season inspection as I take this sucker apart. The Suspension ears are sound, Meuller brgs are as tight as the day I put em' in, no cracks anywhere.....how long can this last. It appears that these beasties are stronger than I thought.

Doin' a little Hoosier milling on my foam, tho

Eww, this a mess, tho.....my oil leak ain't gettin' any better....sigh. It's a pressure leak and I ain't crackin' the case to fix it.

I hab no idea what the white shit is....spirits?.

shit on your lens?

Holy crap, you caught the 914's ghost as it was exiting the body. Call Ghost Hunters now!!!

I am still sufferning from trukey induced falttulance....
The volume is about right.

I think it's the ghost of 4 cylinder past....

I bet that's what started your leak JP. I couldn't have been your motor builder...I hear he's an ornery cuss....

And fast...did I say yellow was faster?...

Nope.
I pulled the motor once to find it.....them, actually.
1)The intermediate cover plate was warped about .02.
I had another that was warped only .005 or so and was able
to sand it flat....new gasket & some goop.

2)The stinker around the *outside* of the #8 bearing.
I went with the "no sealant" around it advice....there is an O
ring and that & some silicone grease is supposed to handle
that droolin' sumbitch....OOPS.

The smoke is a possibility, but I like the ghost of T-4 past.

BTW:
I looked around and.....damn, not a "stiffening kit" in sight, anywhere.
Go figure.

Ah-ha! Your secret is out.

JP run's Fix-A-Flat in his race tires.

Either that or it's 914 eating mold


KT

No secret, Brad tole about this...... didn't he tellyou?
That's cause he likes me better.

It's insulating foam. Keeps rocks that get flang up fron bustin' up the FG & star bursting the lovely paint. It also does a nice job of filling the inside gap twixt the FG & metal body.....glues it in place also.....one of Brad's better plans

I don't know...Pretty sure it's "the mold".

It finds rust and get's very strong...and mean.


KT

JP.

I know why it is leaking.

No bullshit: you need a better breather system on the engine. Ask me how long Scott and I FOUGHT the front leak in the tube car...


B

And you suggest what?......pics would be good.

Edit: oops, sorry. How long?
