Huge turnout for the Motors in the Morning yesterday.
Today I started on my oil change and valve adjustment for the 911. The oil is all drained, oil filter removed. Tomorrow I will get the heater blower duct-work off and out of the way on the left side, and the then unbolt the AC compressor and lay it on the pad of the fender cover. Then remove the valve covers.
I have to be dressed in my business Polo shirt to deliver some prints for a customer and she will hand me a check. Always worthwhile! After that I change in to my grubby clothes and get to work on the car. It sure is nice to have the scissor lift working and not leaking. The car is up on the second mechanical lock spot, so no pressure on the hydraulics, and the car is secure.
Maybe on Tuesday I will get the valves adjusted and back together.
I did one "while I was in the there" project today. I had the wheels off to clean them and inspect the rocker panels for tire pieces after the HPDE at Barber Motorsports. Not that much tire debris, but a decent clump of gravel and tiny rocks up in the rocker panels. I had to poke it with a long screw driver to break it up, and then used a hose on the vacuum cleaner to suck the crap up and out. All that crap will retain water and many 911s get rust there.
