yeah i pick up the porsche tonight from steve at MPS, he had to tear down the entire left bank to get all the bottom studs out.
Turns out that engine has never been torn down since it was built in 1980 and still has a hone!
Cost more than I expected, but its done right .... now I'm poor

Drilled out the CV's last night. Went well with a carbide drill bit.

Today got the driveshafts, trans, and engine back in. All solo. Boy am i sore!

Snapped a 12pt socket on the CV bolts, so the passenger side is finger tight untill i get another at CT in the morning. Pulled the shifter out as it wasn't shifting properly(hopefully its not the trans ). Hope to get it all working by noon tommorrow.

If not, i'll be rolling in the other dub, the TDI.

Weather is calling for rain all day.......

So.... 2pm at the Tim's on Hwy 25, north of the 401.

Good luck getting the 12 pt at crappy tire. At my location they had no clue what I meant. I could meet you in Oakville with mine at 10:30am tomorrow. Let me know.

Throwing in the towel.

Can't get the trans to neutral. Can get what i think is R-2-4 but no neutral-1-3. Tried 2 shifters, and a pair of vice grips on the trans shaft. Something's not right. Need to pull the nosecone and see what's up.

It'll all come out again on Monday.

See'ya later.
