One of the hoses to the front oil cooler burst around 30 miles from home. Dumped all the oil from the engine before i noticed it, luckily very low revs, just above idle.

Managed to fix the hose, refill the engine and limp home. Oilpressure was normal all the way. Will drain the oil this week and look for false gold.... >.<

I drove the bug to cars & coffee this morning. Parking next to a shedding + sappy tree with a cool breeze was NOT a good idea. I was on my way up to Newport to go show the car to my dad and take him for a ride to Father's Day lunch. Wanting the car to make a good first impression, I ended up spending 45 minutes on a side street wiping and polishing all of the sap/crap off of the black paint. My poor, lonely 914-6 sits in the garage and waits patiently for me to get over my beetle love affair.....

Thought I would see you at the San Clemente car show today. Talked to a guy with a white 76 2.0 who was there.

Ground wire in the distributor was fried do to a bonehead move on my part. Soldered on a new ground wire, and rebuilt the distributor (using Rich's excellent 'how to' thread).
Installed new points, cap, plugs, wires, set the timing and now it's running like a top just in time for the nice weather in Seattle. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Showed my car at the Car Show in Yountville today. I was sandwiched between at '79 Turbo and a really nice '92 964. Lots of nice cars there.

We REALLY need a full shot of your car. All we ever get are small pieces at a time.

Played hookie from Rothsport and worked on my own car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Started with attacking my weeping output shaft seals. In the last year or so a drop was finally starting to hit the garage floor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Used a combo of the factory seal installer and a disk from my bearing and race installer. This is a before shot. New seal is perfectly flush with the inner lip.

Then on to changing out the left rear wheel bearing. This time leaving the trailing arm in the car. Pulled the hub with my 5# slide hammer and a fabricated tool.

Then onto R & Ring the wheel bearing using my SIR TOOLS copy of the factory tool.
Quick & Dirty ...............

Then the bad news. Started breaking down the half shafts. When I pulled apart the first one I found some pretty serious wear.

Price Check Porsche Classic for complete shafts.

Another hooky day ...............

Worked a couple hours at RS then drove out to Forest Grove to go thru my 1/2 shaft stash to see if I could build 2 half shafts. Took breaking down 7 half shafts and inspecting 14 CV joints to come up with 4 nice ones and 2 maybes.

Tomorrow I start bringing Mike Carey's 914 race car back to life at Rothsport.
Pictures to follow ..............
