tonight I spent about an hour under the car putting the alternator tin back in place and getting the thermostat bolted in.
As I was fishing a string down the hole in the tin for the thermostat wire, on a whim I jiggled the flaps arm. It was stuck. It is stuck. Feeling in with my fingers from the no2 spark plug hole, I can feel that it is open, but it is not moving. Is there a way I can diagnose and fix this without pulling the engine? I have this horrible feeling that if I pull the motor the chances of me driving the Porsche this summer are slim and none. But, on the other hand the carbs are off, fuel is already disconnected - its the right time if I had to do it. And I could find that pesky oil seep in the front of the engine. I know what I SHOULD do. I just really do not want to do it. :-( I have so little time these days to work on the car. Zach |
