Adjusted accelerator cable...was quite a bit more slack than necessary to account for expansion and adjusted the temp for when the fans come on (I had previously adjusted it too low). Time for a test drive.
The partners over at Bob Hindson Racing are leading the charge on the below list getting us ready for spring/summer.
Tightening oil pan bolts...still have the cork seal in there
Fuel filter - Porsche branded
Engine oil /filter - Royal Purple 20W/50 HPS and Porsche filter - red one, helps make it faster
Timing belt inspection - looks like through passenger side vent tube belt may be closer to front of cam gear
Brake fluid flush - every other year an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure
Update on accelerator cable adjustment test drive; made a big difference; it needed a lot of adjustment tightening up...don't think I've really done anything to it since I put the new one in several years ago. Checked it once it was good and warm and made sure we still were easily hitting the idle switch.
Fans may need slight adjustment upward temp wise but don't want them waiting to run until close to white to run as they were before; may leave them the way they are...FF dynamics fans are quiet and efficient.
Needs refil on refrigerant. Going to refil on high side this time I think.
Amen. BHR not only know and works on 928s they love them.
Update; from multiple "don't do that" statements on Google referring to using the high side to refill refrigerant will be using the low side.
You can refill on the high side, just fill with liquid until it wont take any more and then close it, start the AC and fill the rest through the low side. Safe and quicker for sure.
Today for mine I just brought it back from a 2 month long hibernation due to gas prices, yeah, that hurt.
The workshop manual quotes using shims to adjust the ride height, no shims with my not adjustable Konis. The Bilsteins should be 10-15 mm higher because of the pressure.
I had fuel vapor and liquid leaks when driving my '86.5 last fall. It would only leak liquid fuel if the tank was pretty full and I made a really hard left turn. I suspected that one of the hoses that connect to the filler neck had failed. I pulled the tank and that wasn't the issue. The hoses were due to be replaced but not leaking. It seems that the liquid and vapor leak was the seal on the end of the filler neck. I lightly pressurized the tank with the breather hose attached and all other openings blocked and didn't find any leaks. Hopefully I'll be able to pull it in the garage with a full tank and not power stink the entire house. I took the time to strip and repaint the tank cradle while I was there. I didn't have much trouble getting the tank back in. It only took me about 20 minutes to get it set into place. That's one more thing taken care of anyway. Rear wheel bearing replacement and CV joint clean and repack with new boots are next on the list.
Here's the old and new filler neck seals. I'm pretty sure this was the cause of the leak.
