Re: Rear bumper rubber body to bumper seal
Yeah hi Gary, hope you don’t mind me using your photo. It’s a good example Of course not :) The seal ends up there because of the flange on the rear quarter, so if it’s engaged properly that’s where it goes. The moulding on the end isn’t pleasing for me as it looks like the wrong shape, but again t...

Re: Sill trim installation
I tried this. Gave up in the end and drilled holes in the new paint. As nothing is straight it needs to be ‘pulled in’
Brave pill needed
Lots of grease on the holes, remove the swarf and I didn’t try too hard to secure the bottom edge so they can drain easily

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
Close, but that’s a Rolls
And an electric one at that.
We do have one on the fleet and it’s most impressive even if it’s a BMW i7 underneath

Re: Assessing an unknown engine
Wow! Big day
Time for a new oil pump. They are expensive for sure, but so is doing all this again.
Best of luck

Re: Assessing an unknown engine
If you can get a set of three pistons off and then release half of the crankcase you can maybe get to whatever is jamming it, or to the other rod bolts and then it should come apart. Just put the engine stand connection on the side with the stuck pistons pointing towards the floor and leave the cran...

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
That’s a real shame.
Good to narrow it down but a bummer when it turns out to be the complicated expensive bit.
Has it ‘lost’ the map?

Re: Assessing an unknown engine
Can you split a case without removing the pistons? Will the case move pass the stuck piston? Sent from my 22011119UY using Tapatalk Yes, but at this point you can pull the circlips out, knock the gudgeon pins through and pull them off. Possibly. The crank's at 90 degrees so some are alongside each ...
