Engine rebuild while you're in there
I have an 89 Targa with 194k miles. The engine is out for rebuild. Clutch was last replaced at 100k miles. Main engine fuel line was replaced at about 170k miles. Should I look at replacing any other fuel lines? What other "while you're in there" items should I pay attenton to in and around the engine bay while the drivetrain is out?

Rear wheel bearings
Trailing arm bushings Brake lines R & R your heater flapper boxes Adjust rear parking brake cables Motor/trans mounts Starter Clutch release fork update New engine sound mat |
while you're in there
Good Stuff. Any other input on the fuel line that comes from the body into the engine bay?

Check the rubber and the fittings - if it is cracked or looks questionable, replace it.

I was only thinking about the return line. It has a rubber portion that is attached the the hard line but there is no removable fitting so I guess you have to replace the whole line as pictured here

fuel lines
the front return line appears to be a hard line
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1392572635.jpg The front pressure might be a hard line / rubber line combo? http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1392572674.jpg Any help with know which rubber pieces should be replaced in much appreciated. |
Those last two pictures are the lines in the tunnel, they are plastic with rubber on the fuel pump end. As long as the rubber ends are good and no one had welded/drilled the tunnel I would leave them alone. If questionable now is the time as you really need the engine/trans out to get them in/out. On my car the feed and return are rubber (with steel fittings), I would have any old rubber replaced with E85 tolerant material.. All steel lines, if not horribly corroded, are fine.
