A fellow XT owner. Finally someone with decent taste around here! 0w40 M1, German Castrol, or rotella T6 are all good oils for the EJ255. Depending on the mileage and oil change interval do watch your oil level. Great little engines and the cars are dead reliable. My modded 04 has 170k and has been running 19.5 psi vf43 since 60k miles.

Got the first coat of paint on the last part of the transmission..front section...then I spent about 3 hours underneath the rear section, removing accumulated grease, grime and whatever (151+K) so I can re undercoat before the torque tube, rear end and fuel tank go back in. PROGRESS!!

My car is back on the road. I replaced and rebuilt so many things I don't know if I can remember everything.
Runs so much better than before. Plus drives a lot better with new steering rack, pump, ball joints and powerflex bushings. Nice to not hear the TT bearings wining at me.
Now to drive it 200 miles home..

Does anybody else find working on a 944 Turbo exhausting? I used to have an NA car and even with a custom supercharger setup it was so much easier to work on. Yesterday I installed new Lindsey fuel lines, replaced all the vacuum lines, shimmed my wastegate, rebuilt my clutch slave, as well as finished installing the alternator(new voltage reg installed). I was out there 10 hours yesterday. And I have a hoist!! I am not looking forward to installing the exhaust with new gaskets today as I have a scissor type hoist and there isn't much room for the exhaust. Everytime I work on this car I need a few days off. Last year I did the oilpan gasket and baffle, t-belt and stuff and I installed a new rad this winter. Nothing is easy on these cars is it? I'm sure one blast down a twisty road and I'll forget all about it.

Today I replaced the clutch master cylinder, slave cylinder, and the hose between the master cylinder and slave cylinder. I adjusted the master cylinder push rod length by spinning the push rod until the clevis slipped on to the bushing freely. I have my own way of doing things. Not a hard job. Having a 13mm swivel socket makes undoing the master cylinder much easier. Anyway I got to use my new Motive Products Power bleeder. The $52 I spent for it is worth every cent not to have to ask my wife to pump the pedal! I'm a little ashamed to say this, I still had the old blue colored ATE brake fluid in there. Being anxious to flush out the old brake fluid and again doing things my way and a bit of chutzpah, I pumped the power bleeder to 25 PSI to get the fluid moving. It worked great!!
