Good time for some preventive maintenance, so I decided to replace those potential leak items in "the triangle of death". Of course that lead to new fuel lines, sensors, vacuum lines, etc. as well as a general cleanup of the engine bay.

Definitely first world problems. I don’t mean to complain. It’s on me for not paying attention to the availability when I placed the order.
I’m just trying to find some things to do to pass the time. There are for more important things than me getting parts right now. |
+1, good on you for keeping it real. I just packed up some crusty oil lines for “retired” Len C to refurbish.

My project
My car originally wore a Ruf badge, I kept it because it came with it, but decided to return her to her origins.

That RUF badge is special! Would look good in a workshop.

Made a cup and phone holder
Working with limited tools, so it’s a little rough. But it works great.

Replaced 915 Trans Cooler Pump
Why . . . because race car . . . reason = cross threaded input line fitting slow leak . . .
During this track down time also had 915 rebuilt by CMS and engine tuned and fixed leaking oil seals on chain covers and rear main seal . . . Regards, http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1586725871.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1586726288.jpg |
