dyno run for 2366 with Web street cam and DLRA 45s Options

[98101]

I bought this car a couple months ago, and wrestling with problems that I expected, and some I didn't expect.

Dyno shop got a noticeable performance improvement by reaming out the main jets. We played with the timing curve a little bit also. Unfortunately the clutch is contaminated or something and sometimes interfered with torque readings.

Now that I've read more about 2366 longevity, I'm not sure I'd opt for it. It sounds great and pulls harder than I'm used to in a 914 though.

Looks wet.... gear oil has a distinct smell kind of like sulfur. Looks to me like either the
input seal on the transmission is leaking or the rear main seal on the engine.

Stick your finger in one of those drips hanging off the transmission and smell it...yuck. Easy to tell if its gear oil.

OK, will try that next time.

Could a transmission or engine oil leak cause the clutch to be contaminated?

The weird thing with the clutch is that the slipping was noticeable when I first got the car a couple months ago, and now it's not noticeable except for one slip on the dyno stand. What ever was on the clutch got burned off? It fixed itself?

Gear oil level in the transmission was slightly low, not a lot.

At least most of the stuff is engine oil. I'm wondering how to track it down. Since the tranny needs rebuilding anyway, I guess we'd find out more then.
