While I wait to source engine parts, I figure it's time to get busy on other stuff.

Let's tackle the problems with the left door. See my new thread about weird door lock behavior. The door stop also does not hold the door open.

I tried to be careful, but after several small tears, I gave up.

Some (or lots) of grease on the mechanism and linkage seems to get the lock working.

I took out the door stop. I expected the problem to be a worn aluminum arm, and have a replacement ready.

Yup, the old arm has a fair amount of where.

But the problem turns out to be one of the bushings.

At some point the nylon(?) bushing stopped turned, and wore through on one side. This eliminates the pressure the bushings impose on the aluminum arm. Time for the rebuild kit with new bushings.

But feeling optimistic, I tried to install the bushing rotated 180°. That worked for exactly 1 door closing and opening before the bushing spun around to the worn position.

Then I dug into the trunk lock. When I set this up last year, the key worked fine with the lock on the bench. Now the key does not turn.

Time to fine-tune the lock sliding pins. When I got this lock last year, I moved the pins around to get the best fit possible, but then had to shorten a few. The red pins stick out just a bit.

I have found removing the latch/locking mechanism works well to clean the 1/2 century of crud and then lube. Adding lube seems to compound the issue

With a very thin paper gasket?


Good question. I would like to hear from others. I did not use a gasket originally.


The Schadek pump I installed on my last build had a very thin paper gasket.
