Adjusted the valves...again. I just did this in early March, but some new noises surfaced that sounded like valve clatter. Sure enough, some were tight, some were loose. I can't explain it...

Also on the agenda was chasing down some oil leaks. I changed from silicone gaskets to cardboard on the March valve adjust and some oil drops went away and some new ones appeared. It took a while, but the I found the new leaks were coming from the upper valve covers which had never leaked before. I put the old silicone gaskets back on and still had a few drips. I dug out the original engine much heavier duty 2.0 valve covers, cleaned 'em up, and put them on in place of the corroded 2.2 covers that came with the 2.2. The leaks are gone and the new old valve covers look way better. I can't believe it took me 7 years to think of this.

Also...I took off the PORSCHE CAR N.W. stripes that Bob T. made for me and went with a much simpler motif, that Bob T. also sent me. I got the idea from the "Rally Car" thread. The car looks more like a '66 911 now. I have some 165/15 's on order that will go on my 4.5" steelies to complete the look.

New stripes and no oil puddle!

Went out and bought some Brad Penn, stopped by Wevo and picked up a coupler and... visited my 915 undergoing open heart surgery @ Jerry Woods. It's going to be an eventful week for the old 911 as she gets ready for spring/summer driving.
(The blue car isn't mine, but I was diggin the tubular front end)

In preparation for Targa CA tomorrow...It's out with the old seats and in with the new. The D-Zug Lollipop seats came with sliders and bolted right in!

Old Pasha ST's Gone!

Craig,
The lollipops are killer! The boys at D-zug know their stuff. What happened to those fine pasha STs...PM me if they are available.

Installed a pair of early 70s Recaro Seats in sterling condition. It was quite interesting getting the brackets to work as the seats had custom adapted brackets that then need to be adapted to my own car's custom adapted seat rails. There was no "plug and play" to get these puppies to work. It took some serious drilling, grinding, carving to get it to come together.

I had a chance to try them out and they were super comfortable.

R&R my refreshed 915, put in an aluminum (& steel) pressure plate, new flywheel and disk, and... pulled out my chunky original sound pad. Replaced the sound pad with the excellent Appbiz "deluxe" model.
Oh, rebuilt CVs. Nasty job. I need a parts washing station.

Ready for some driving!

I put on my new number-plates... Can't believe these were still available in my state.
