I had a rocker shaft walk completely out of its bore just now while revving the engine in the garage.

Is this due only to the wearing of the shaft itself? I am certain that I installed it in the...

How are my rocker shafts STILL leaking?

Recently had the engine out of the car, and aimed to eliminate my rocker shaft leaks. I pulled all the rocker shafts out to clean them up, and make sure I installed them according to the factory...

Backside valve adjustment inconsistencies.

Hi all. I've got the engine out of the car, and I'm checking the valve adjustment that I did not long ago using the traditional method with the 0.004in feeler gauge under the elephant's foot. I...

Got it! Took a careful combination of hammering the exposed part of the lip at the 1 o’clock position, pulling on that with a seal puller until it bent back up, and then repeating, slowly inching it...

Anyone else have thoughts on this? Again, I’m pretty hesitant to drill anything without being certain I won’t damage something other than the seal.

Thanks for the reminder. This makes me wonder how something like this happened. I'm certain that I set my torque wrench to the proper spec. And then I kept tightening until I felt the click, but I...

Rocker Shaft Question

While my 1980 3.0 motor is out of the car and I’m addressing various other problems, I’ve noticed the rocker shafts are leaking. At the time of assembly, I didn’t have a torque wrench to fit into the...

Got it!

You made me realize I already have something like this. I thought these were just for nuts or stripped hex heads, didn't think to try it on a stud. But it worked, so thanks!

Walt is right - I installed the seal on the crank before mating the case halves. Putting it on backwards was definitely a stupid mistake. In my defense a quick flip through the book didn’t reveal any...

Damaged Airboxes

I have two damaged airboxes. Would anyone want these for any reason? Are they worth anything? Or should I just get rid of them?

One of them is the one that came from my 1980 911SC, and is badly...

The studs are definitely not spinning, only the nuts are spinning.

I used the torque spec in Wayne’s book. Could be an issue with my torque wrench potentially?

Thanks Pampadori. Yeah, on page 139 in "the book" it says:
"Apply a very small drop of Loctite 271 to the flywheel bolt threads."

What type of loctite did you use if not 271?
