1986 Carrera Cabrio wide body.
Removed all the AC junk and the radiator under the engine cover. Can now see most of the engine through the cover louvers. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1392250226.jpghttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1392250286.jpg

Brown747. I'm very curious about your fan. Is that new or did you have it refinished. looks very nice. The previous owner of my car replaced it with a used one that looks good but its very dull, no cadmium/zinc coating left on it.

Before, removed a/c air pump exhaust system and fan when I got it home.

I've noticed several of you have installed a metal fan strap that is drilled out. Is there any particular logic behind it ? (weight savings? is it really that much?)

I have a d-zug 917 key , weight all adds up :) . But I only did it as the original was in terrible condition.

Here is a pic showing the process of getting the engine cleaned up. I call this episode "The Rubber Explosion"® as pretty much every chunk of rubber in the engine compartment was toast.
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1392357970.jpg I had the intake out because I found some cracked gaskets... In the process of removing the intake I found the fuel line crimps were so gone that the hose would spin around like a bearing... In the process of removing the gaskets I discovered the plastic intake spacers were crumbling... In the process of rerouting the the vacuum lines I found one was cracked about a third of the way around... In the process of reattaching the large (1") plastic breather hose I discovered that it was so brittle it fractured when I tried to reconnect it to the engine... In the process of installing the brand new large breather hose I discovered it was actually made of very soft rubber so the old one was WAY beyond toast... I did get the engine nice and cleaned (With some help. My back was completely out at this point...). Notice the nice block off plates for the intake that I built. Nice to have in the toolbox. Once it was done it idled and ran better then it had in years. Gee, I wonder why?:rolleyes: |
Started assembly of some freshly powder coated tin tonight. Plus new engine carrier, bracket, and muffle bracket. Engine bay cleanup is well under way!
