What did you do to your 2002 today !

[0257]

Removed the brand new, nicely loctited, ANODIZED INTAKE stud from the top hole over the no. 4 exhaust port, cleaned the hole out (again) with a thread chaser and Brakleen, and installed a new BLACK loctited EXHAUST stud.  Good thing I got nothing but time....

New bushings and hardware for the rear sway bar while the whole subframe is out.

With the motor out it seems like the perfect time to clean up the engine bay and subframe 

 

 

the Orange was fro the PO’s original respray 7 years ago 

3 coats of Satin Black to make it happy looking 

 

foil is your friend

0257    hoped you sealed that stud so oil doesn't leak through or you will get more practice on re and re,ing the stud

Wait.  Why is the engine out?

Given that the hole felt a bit loose after all the cleaning/chasing, I went with loctite 263.  If that won’t seal it....  but the main issue I was dealing with here was use of the wrong stud.  Slow learner.

I stopped to check on progress of an alternator rehab/rebuild (by a felllow we nicknamed "Better than Bosch) ... epoxy added, which keeps things in place. -KB

Gave up trying to get my stub axles out and took them up the street to be pressed out at the shop.  I did get the CVs dismantled, they were more cooperative.

[Fortlauderdalian]

Almost have one side done 

[Scottjeffrey]

In Fort Lauderdale also. You should join us the last Sunday of each month including this Sunday in Downtown Fort Lauderdale. Antique euro cars.

 

Looking good by the way! Good luck!

took the Polaris out for more sun & washing while I scrounged for parts in the loft

 

 

wait a minute - that was yesterday.

Today I delivered a set of these to a coworker who does powder-coating on the side - told him no hurry on my account.

 

 

 

[xavier296]

After a 3-5 day powder coating turn around turned in to almost 3 weeks, got my front and rear subframes back. Got them both installed in the car, along with my new LSD. Plenty of buttoning up left, but hope to get her back on the road this weekend.

 

Turns out generic Buna o-rings don't like to sit for a month in the top of your KF. All of them leaked when I went to check for fuel leaks....

Dropped my Ceylon car off for repainting, and picked up my baur from being repainted...

I was wrong.  It's not a volume discount.  Barney is single-handedly keeping a business in business.  Good job supporting the community Barn. (Seriously.)
