my project 71

[elrockk]

found site postimg.org seems better/easier then photo bucket. so i changed my fuel pump 2 weeks ago and figured id change the oil and while changing the oil i found my oil leak [url=https://postimg.org/image/4a1d4zrah/[/url] so i think ill try torqueing the heads /resetting the valve adjustment and dropping the timing and redoing the carb adjustment

[Tom]

Are you going to torque the heads for a reason or just S and G's ?

Be aware that the head bolts are known to pull out of the cases on these old motors then you are in a world of hurt. Ask me how I know ...

[Tom]

Does anyone here have a SUGARGLIDER or know someone that does . I have some Free stuff like a climbing tower /food /snacks and vitamins if anyone wants

I have to admit I had no idea what this was until I saw it this morning.

[elrockk]

im torqueing the heads because that seems to be my oil leak from the base of the jugs. i think its only 20 something foot pounds
yes that s the stuff im giving away had to put my buddy down and would like to hook someone up

[Tom]

Okay, didn't know that was you.

If it is leaking from the base of the jugs I doubt that tightening will stop it, the sealer is compromised between the jugs and the case. (Permagasket type sealer) As I said before unless it's a hideous leak I don't think I would risk it but that's just me because when I tried to fix my leak I ended up buying a motor.

[elrockk]

i think 23 foot pounds should not break anything but i will eat crow if it does. ive also read that loose head bolts let the jugs go up and down and pound the case leading to engine damage. 23 foot pounds or bust

[elrockk]

i just did an engine at work was 59 foot pounds plus 90 degrees then plus 60 degrees came out to 245 torque total

Was the case made of magnesium ?

[elrockk]

got some time in on the bug gonna start and finish each corner one at a time got the new quarter panel and body tweeked to fit nicely hopefully more work this week

[elrockk]

got some time in the garage today cut out the old quarter panel sanded drilled and punched wholes for spot welds and got a pretty good rough fit

[elrockk]

i need to do some repairs to the infrastructure that the quarter panel welds to and fine tune the fit and spray some of the infrastructure with rust incapsulator while i have the panel off

[elrockk]

i got the new quarter panel tacked in today
