SteamWolf Posted 12September, 2013 Report Share Posted 12September, 2013 I did the valve clearances on Uncle's engine while he did a compression test on mine. 150 on every cylinder. Very happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgy Posted 13September, 2013 Report Share Posted 13September, 2013 Got my new splitter delivered this morning from PCSS... I just want to leave the office now and go put it on, but that would be setting a bad example to my employees... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nath Posted 13September, 2013 Report Share Posted 13September, 2013 Went and picked up roof racks from PCSS and they tried to sticker my car up for the 50th thing this weekend. Apparently they didn't expect a 911 to turn up that wasn't involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamWolf Posted 13September, 2013 Report Share Posted 13September, 2013 Just changed the oil bypass pipe. Glad I did! Broke in half as I gave it a test flex to see where the leak was. I better do the other side real soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgy Posted 13September, 2013 Report Share Posted 13September, 2013 Installed my Cup front splitter just now.. I don't know how I looked at the car for so long without it!! Caver, nath and hugh 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg944 Posted 13September, 2013 Report Share Posted 13September, 2013 Finished refurbishing the 944 front arms. It's easy enough to do, although I offer the following: 1. Don't use the ball from the old joint to drive the upper cup in. It's a very tight fit and you run the risk of splitting the cup as it is un-supported until driven fully home. Use a brass or Aluminium drift or if. You have the means turn up a full diameter tool and use a press. 2. I used a section of pipe and a block of wood with a hole drilled into it; to support the arm while using a socket and sash clamp to compress the lower cover to install the circlip. 3. I used a 17mm long socket to push on the plastic spacer that goes under the rubber boot. It looks good. The spring plates arrived back from the platers, looking like new. Shame I didn't get the bolts done as well, but no huge issue. This is going into the everyday car. Tomorrow will see the completion of the rear beam/Poly-bronze bush build up. I have to give the beam another scrub and touch up some paint work. Then I will bond the outer bushes to the housings with Sikalex 227 and the inner races to the spring plate with 2 part metal exxy goop. I better book the car in to get all the gear fitted and aligned. Cheers Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlatSix Posted 14September, 2013 Report Share Posted 14September, 2013 Finally got the car back from the mechanic, got half way home and the car is now pulling hard to the left I noticed my indicators were not cancelling so I know the steering wheel hub is on upside down. Pulled it apart and flipped it over and checked to see if anything was grabbing causing the weird steering. Looks fine, put it back together and still issues. The car pulls hard to the left and has a lot more resistance turning the wheel right. I'm hoping they just stuffed up the alignment and its not a problem with the reco'd rack. I checked the alignment report and the car is listed at the top as a 993 turbo, which has slightly different specs to my 964. Checked my book and yep some of their settings are below minimum spec. Ho hum back to the shop on monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
