OK what did I do wrong? its not torqued yet.

Landseer

Thanks!
I have an airpump delete one, but might need to add back airpump.
Just wanted to see an installation up-close. This is perfect because engine is out.

Done.

New flappy actuator just because. Old one is fine and in the 'removed original parts' box that stays with the car to subsequent owners. New double-sealed bearings. LocTite on the butterfly screws.

Not clear which stud shoulders you are talking about. Link to the discussion?

If you are talkng about the sleeves on the intake mounting studs from the heads, the flared end goes down. There are reliefs around the studs for them, and the flared end guides the position of the rubber intake gaskets. Keeps them aligned perfectly over the ports. Gaskets go on, sleeves next pushed into the gaslkets and the reliaf in the head, then intake, then rubber hold-down grommets, then washers and hold-down nuts.

Fixed the fuel line connection seepage, finished dressing out the fuel rails, added covers, restored tie-wraps in original colors and positions for everything that was disturbed during intake and cam covers adventure, Changed the oil, and splurged on NEW oil and filter this time...

Lots of clean-up both on the car and the work bay. Tools are mostly cleaned and put away. Floor will get scrubbed tomorrow, car will get a wash-n-clean, and all will be well in my little 928 universe for a few days anyway. Until the little brake project starts later this week.

Installed S brake spindles, hubs, rotors, steel lower ball joints and calipers on front of my MY1980. Thanks to Sean (Zoltan944) for the donation (back in '09). My son insists I paint the calipers red. So, the calipers, at least, will be coming off.

Drove my MY86.5 - S3 approximately 276.9 miles... approximately

pulled the transmission and torque tube to install a new one.

Pulled battery and charged all day. Cleaned ground connections, battery terminals and WOW what a difference. Learned my lesson.

I sealed up the exhaust leak at my cat-backs that happened when the fiberglass wrap worked its way loose over the past few months.

It's nice and quite now. It would have been annoying to listen to during the entire drive down to Sharks In The Mountains

The discussion was with Dwayne and his epic intake refresh project.

I too believe the orientation as you do.

Well thats it for tonight.
I got the fuel lines sorted and got the cam timing right and the belt on with everything else behind it done.



Im going to replace the rubber hose from the regulator to the cooler with steel braided hose as well



Remember I will not have distributor caps, might go plexiglass

Finished leather restoration of removed front seats with Leatherique (5 day job with soak in periods) - results were excellent. Now filling an abrasion on the passenger side in advance of a re-dying.

Put a little jesus torque on the rear bearing pins, new hoot struts, and tightened one front wheel bearing..that bearing would have been a 5 minute job, if the bearing cap wasn't designed to survive the apocalypse.

Speedtoys

Didnt get a new regulator huh...that'll **** you off more than $50 worth later..maybe. (Considering everything else that was done..didnt get a new one?)

fraggle

Drove to Quantico VA and back to purge my head of work. Nice.
