Caledonian Posted 30August, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 30August, 2014 What's this "maybe" rubbish. If both your cars are not at c&c I'll take it as a personal insult. OH! the pressure of being in the "Air cooled" gang.. love your work Mike, any idea on what the CIS parts cost in bits in total? i know my injector seals are stuffed and it'd be nice to go through the whole intake Sorry Russ thought i posted that..$74 (ish) for 6 x Injector seals, sleeves and o-rings Ex Porsche Brisbane Looking great mate, we'll debut them together at Cars and Coffee maybe Hope i can turn up with more than CV joint boot this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Posted 30August, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 30August, 2014 Really needed to force myself today as I'm feeling a bit under the weather, serious too man flu the worst kind... Probably took me and hour to get it back in and bolted up, a 2nd pair of hands and i reckon it would have taken half that time.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxzmusSC Posted 30August, 2014 Report Share Posted 30August, 2014 Vid if it running when you can . Great job. Did you notice your oil lines near the oil tank rub at all? Mine seem to be touching and I'm not sure if it is an install issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you flick through the last post quickly it look like a movie Yes they do touch slightly and so did the old ones but in a different place, been like that for a year now and no signs of rubbing through so I'll just keep an eye on it.

Caledonian Posted 30August, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 30August, 2014 Well done on an awsome job..... I wish I had the knowhow /space / tools to do this kind of work.... Must be very satisfying to have done it..... Thank you , and if it starts and does not leak oil (at least from the same place) then I'll be satisfied I do enjoy working on the car, its just finding the time to do it is the problem and a few hours here and there is why things end up taking so long. I started this 6 weeks ago and it's really only 3-4 days work if you include all the cleaning,painting etc. With only part time labour and waiting for parts,getting some outsourced jobs done is what drags these D. I. Y jobs out. Yes i have a good tool kit but thats only as I used to earn my money with them a long time ago, you could buy decent enough stuff for what I've done for not too much these days. Space, yes that does make things easier especially if you have long gaps between working on the car. Knowledge, well thats just at the touch of a button these days, and basic mechanical skills is all that was required for what I've done.

Harvs11 Posted 30August, 2014 Report Share Posted 30August, 2014 Great progress Mike. You'll be taking her down the road no time. 6 weeks part time work is pretty good. I'm sure others have started this kind of project and taken many moons longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Posted 30August, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 30August, 2014 Prior to the engine going back in i fitted the driveshaft gaskets, a quick clean of the flange with some carb cleaner so the adhesive side sticks. Replaced the shift rod seal: Some top shelf hose clamps Just a bit extra security for a known trouble spot.. This restrictor was missing before and the cause of the idle dropping with the oil cap removed. Hope i feel better tomorrow and get a chance to get everything connected back up, and possibly running.

I was thinking of finding a hard cover tube of some sort to put over the soft oil line. I had to change mine recently due to the rubbing that had gone through. Looks like both of yours are nice and new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
