89 in Miami. Don't ignore those gas fumes we all seem to get occasionally.

DR, The $50 GT took 8 months full time, but that included a complete paint job and accident repair.
Now working on the Cassisrot '87 with TBF, that crossover hose broke like it was made of glass as we removed the engine. REPLACE THOSE OLD HOSES. Did I mention REPLACE THOSE OLD HOSES? Those old hoses are a FIRE waiting to happen. There is a picture on my web site that looks exactly like the one above.

Hi Earl,

IT WORKED, I knew that would make you wash your hands and take a little break from the TBF rebuilt!!!

Have a great 928 weekend,

Dave

The other bad hose is the return on the back of the engine. It sits near the throttle pulley on the 87 and newer cars.

like Earl says...replace those hoses.
My spare motor was from a fire also.
