I got some disassembly help from budding shadetree mechanics who are the right size to work in the trunk

Been working on the yellow car today and the previous 10 weeks thanks to Covid 19, and lousy NW weather. Thinking about doing a thread on it. G
Finally got the new air filters installed
Threw in some Porterfield pads and did a quick clutch adjustment. Went for a back road excursion to bed in the pads. Declared it good to go for a track day at Sears Point on Saturday.

I didn't do anything to my 911 today. But my wife and I drove in the '69 to University Hospital and started in the Phase III trial of the Moderna coronavirus vaccine. That was pretty cool.

Did the 500 mile valve adjust and head stud re-torque. It was easier than I anticipated, but still took most of the day. Did I mention that I work slow! Methodical, but slow. Several valves had tightened up slightly and a couple had loosened a bit, one enough to notice the tapping noise. All the head nuts moved about an eighth of a turn and several about a quarter turn. Buttoned it all up and went for a short drive and didn’t find any leaks when I returned. All in all, a very good day.
Think I could do it in about three fourths the time now that I’ve done it once.

Put the car on a trailer and drove up to Oregon—the next stage of its refinishing is getting started!
