I got the new M/C grommets and the supply lines installed on the 'BB' ... and it was a challenging experience to say the least. I'll start the bleeding process tomorrow.


OT, purchased a 'new' grocery-getter for my wife (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Congrats, nice Beemer! Now you won't be thinking about the one that got away up in Encino anymore.

Yeah, missed out on two nice local ones, but this one was turned out to be pretty nice too, although a bit further away.

Phil, it's a '75 2002. Been de-smogged with a TII exhaust manifold, otherwise pretty much stock - and smog exempt here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Broke the oil pump housing.

Strip 1&2 side head , cleaned up around the valves and fuel/exhaust channels. Head 3&4 is sat soaking in degreaser to be cleaned off tomorrow.

Also had a spark plug snap leaving just the threaded part in the head! More fun.

Yesterday Keith and I removed the transmission and clutch to inspect and confirm that I installed the KEP assembly correctly and that the parts were properly furnished to fit my build. Called KEP for specs on dimensions of disk thickness, pressure plate, etc. Nothing strange or poorly installed there so I spent the second half of the day putting it all back together.

To eliminate any chance of flex in the firewall, we reinforced the firewall with a 1/4" thick plate of aluminum bolted to the firewall at the cable tube. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

All of that cluster (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) led me to the cluster / the pedal cluster that is.......

I will remove it today and see if failed bushings or pins etc. is the cause of my Stage II clutch not disengaging fully when the pedal is depressed.

If a rebuilt cluster doesn't give me gears, I am stumped yet again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) as I have a new cable, clutch T/O bearing, pressure plate, ring gear, flywheel, disk, and a smooth running engine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)

Maybe the pivot ball behind the release arm needs to be shimmed ... and a new plastic bushing in the arm ???

good insight Mark. We checked the plastic ball cup bushing. all good / but after a new pedal cluster was installed today, we are narrowing the fault to the Russians.

More after tomorrow in the shop with the clutch tube securement......... .

Yeah, that could be another possibility ... I thought you'd already determined the clutch tube was OK (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I now know why there was a long spacer at the release arm on the 'BB' ... the cable in my car wasn't even running through the tube, making it a shorter distance to the pedal cluster (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) ... hence my decision to go hydraulic (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Mark , that's a very nice 2002. Encino, I lived there in the early '90's. My BIL had a restaurant in the atrium or the Encino Med Center, on the corner of Libbett and Ventura. There during the riots. I miss Mulholland and In 'n Out Burger the most.

Anyway, I digress. Over the last couple weeks I've replaced the push rod tubes and seals, new alternator, valve adjustment, new shifter that doesn't bang into my right leg constantly, new carpet, new Ljet elbow, and, perhaps the Coup de Grass, reconfigured the center console.

I had been debating going back to no console, but figured I'd give it one more shot, so I ended up removing the little block at the front of the console, and replacing it again with a thinner piece, this time (of course I didn't take a pic) I don't think its more than 1 1/2" wide. Big difference, my foot no longer gets fouled behind it, and I can even drive the car with boots. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) So, I'm no longer looking to remove it.

Took my 17yo daughter out for a drive... she drove (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif)

Two lane highway to get her used to the car then we hit the backroads. After about 20-25 minutes, I gave her the option of heading home or hitting some more backroads.

She chose more backroads (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)
One hour and 30 miles later, we are back home.

Getting her ready to drive at Okteenerfest (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

Yesterday I drove to the other side of town for an early 944 speedo, turned out to be yellow lettering. But since I was there.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Digging thru the shed for the matching voltmeter he found Turbo rear hubs and stubs instead. I lowballed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

If I can turn the MPG gauge into something useful I might use them until I change my mind again.
