Nice job and thankfully you got that thing back before it burnt up from the very flammable pentosin. The PS Reservoir was one of my more difficult spots, but there is a solution, and it sounds like you found it.

I don't remember reading, but did you split the pump and remove the coupler? I would imagine that would remove all the pressure on the lower rear fitting. I was lucky and able to get fittings last year that did a great job sealing things up and as you know make up my own connection for the PS high pressure line.

Nothing better than driving the thing knowing you will never spin cams, ever or have coolant pipes pop off suddenly, and be able to engage the damn clutch the way it was meant to be.

If you didn't remove the front seat trying to get the spring in, do that. I also replaced the master cylinder at several people's recommend, even though my original tactic was to flush the hell out of the stock one. I did go through a bunch of brake fluid flushing the lines though. I did not want to go back in and have to redo anything.

Now all I need to do is track down my air leak and I am 100% good to go!

For some reason UPS decided to hold it for a few days perhaps they saw your videos
I'm chasing an oil leak at the RMS and bank 2 chain guide housing. The RMS 9719 tool will be here in a week so that needs to be redone.
Not sure why I have the other leak both are super small.
Was planning on fixing the timing based on what I learned from you and Alex .
Bank 1 6.67
Bank 2 3.96

Default PCCB

Installed some PCCB's today.

The owner of my old car was gracious enough to sell them back to me in exchange for some $$$, new steel rotors and my standard calipers. Install went smoothly. Fluid bled through all 8 bleeders with dot4 synthetic and a quick road test to seat everything. I probably will never use these to their full potential, but I LOVE PCCB's and the look that it gives the car. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get em back.

Did they paint the car to match the calipers or the other way around! Just kidding, they really make a difference with your body color for sure.

Smart man.
the lack of PCCB's was the primary reason I didn't pursue this car when F/S on 6 speed.
ENJOY

DANG, 5 rods.
you are obviously a belt AND suspenders guy.

I used to own a 360 Modena, on F Chat they sell those for $70+................................ but they are laser etched ferrari LOL.

Man, thank you so much for these videos, I know it's time consuming to produce them but these will be so valuable for us all going forward. My car came with coolant pipe work done but not cams, so much of these videos are going to be helpful!!

Thanks very much for posting. Very informative and the videos were great.

And beautiful TT in yellow. As an owner of a yellow sports car, its a polarizing color. Seems like people either love it or hate it.
