Torque wrench set to 8nm with 13mm socket on it. Guess what I did on my 914 today!

Went to Oulton Park Gold Cup to watch today, all parked up in R9 of the PCGB.
Had a long chat to Ralf Webber about his wonderful back date/ST 911.
What a cracker of a car, a great bloke too.

Curborough Sprint School but the day started with a flat on the 914. Unfortunately the jack that came with the car is unless but another attendee had a floor jack so I managed to get off and one of the organisers took to a local tyre place and we got it fixed for £20. They aren't easy wheels to get back on as bolts sit inside the wheel so you can't turn by hand.
Anyway I got the tyre back on and the 914 ran really well. Much quicker and more balanced than the 914. However, on hard cornering I noticed a big engine pressure drop so I've ordered a sump temperature extension which KS recommended

While searching through the bits that Andrew sent with the 914 I found a fuse box cover! To think I almost bought one

Had a clunk in the drivetrain when lifting on and off the throttle, checked the driveshafts, which were fine, so then dropped the engine and ‘box. Pulled off the side casing and check the diff and pinion for any looseness or bearing wear. It all seemed fine, had a “lightbulb” moment and stuck the clutch alignment tool in to the flywheel and gave it a twist, there was some movement, so pulled the clutch and put the centre of the Sachs Performance plate into the vice and Hey Presto it was loose. Anybody else have this issue?
Clutch!
That is poor. Never had that but did loose a weekend at Prescott with the 911 way back when one face of the centre plate came off the sprung disc. F&S genuine part...
