Burning oil smell coming from the Engine (1987 Carrera 911 coupe)
Hi,
I have a 1987 carrera 911 coupe. I wondered if anyone has faced these problems. Any suggestion on the fixes are appreciated  Some burning oil smell from the engine: http://www.flickr.com/photos/48599955@N02/4472975064/in/photostream/ The foam is coming off http://www.flickr.com/photos/48599955@N02/4472197105/in/photostream/ Some visible cracks: http://www.flickr.com/photos/48599955@N02/4472974962/in/photostream/ Last edited by happyprogrammer; 03-29-2010 at 02:26 AM.. |

Hello happyprogrammer:
1) You must have an oil leak that's burning oil on your heat exchangers, impossible to tell exactly where from that pic. Raise your car (always use jack stands) and take a better look. 2) That's for sound proofing, it get's twisted because of high temps. If it's coming apart or crumbling/disintegrating by touch then you might want to change it. If it's not I'd leave it alone, I'm not sure you can replace it without at least a partial engine drop. 3) Those are showing considerable wear, maybe it's time to upgrade to Magnecor's or Clewett's (amongst many available) cables. Take care.
