loving the valve bounce on the latest 998 one, sounds like a rev limiter

[mini_mad69]

Yeah it bounces bang on 6k. Never had valve bounce on the 1380, and I took it to 8k a few times, won't be doing that this time though.







Rebuilt.



Took a few parts from this box.





Cleaning everything, and polishing all gasket faces is taking ages. Hopefully it'll pay off and i won't have any oil leaks.

this is gonna be sweeeeeet XD

Spent ages cleaning and scrubbing the transfer housing. only to find that it doesn't fit, the idler gear bearing is waaaaaay to small for my idler so, it'll never fit this engine. So tried another housing and the 1st motion shaft nose bearing outer race is too tight onto the bearing, so I can't fit it. So I will order a new idler bearing and race and fit that to the second (dirty) housing and try to get it fitted. Annoying as I was going to try and fit the engine tonight/tomorrow.



Took ages cleaning this and then drilling and tapping for the breather only to realise it's never going to fit my engine.


Im now going back to uni this weekend, and have a lot of work to do, so doubt there'll be any large engine updates for a while. And im stuck with that stupid slow thirsty 998 engine.

Atleast I know this engine should last a while.

looking good mate

[mini_mad69]

Spent alot of the day tidying some wiring in the car, and gettinge everything working, I now have a horn for the first time in 6 months

And I've just spent my christmas money on a new headunit for it aswell, need to get some new speakers next, I hope its worth it. Might be on a trackday on the 12th of february aswell.

I've taken my rear diagonal out of the cage and put my back seat in, along with the door pockets/speaker pods in an aid to make it more livable.

Ahh sorry about the transfer housing mate. Completely bypassed my head that the A series was different to the A+ . Would it help if I found up an A+ housing drilled it and send it out Monday?

Yeah an A+ would be good, if you've got one laying around. don't go to any trouble.



Edit: you mean drill it for the breather im assuming, shall I post this one back to you?

Don't worry about sending it back, It's not gonna be any use to me anyways!

I'll have a look today and if I've got one i'll drill it for the breather and get it sent out Monday

Which address would you like it sent to? As I think I've got like 2 from you .
