Please put me down for a set of 8 bolts, SVP. Can't recall if nuts are involved (well, the ones that fit the bolts, that is...) Will email.

The final (hopefully) comment on this topic. I put the car on a hoist, (MUCH better than my car jacks and creeper!) removed ancillary parts and discovered what was suspected. The main cable at the sta ...

Thanks for your assistance, folks!

So… I changed the starter (rebuilt Bosch), which had spinoff pleasures like removing exhaust and sheild components, but thought I’d done a decent job. The car started several times, got me to work but ...

I recently swapped out my starter ('78 924) with a rebuilt Bosch. Hated it. Enjoyed several drives, then she wouldn't start. No solenoid action, lights, etc. Tried boosting the battery - cold here in ...

Has anyone had experience with SI Indistries valves (stainless steel) for their 931? Thanks, B

I've been giving some loving to a derelict 1978 N/A, and she's becoming a nice car. I swapped the rotten rear muffler last week, thought it'd be "done" but the original front (Borla, I think ...

I'm glad you're still learning, and I sure am, which makes this work exciting. I've asked for advice and information from this discussion group and haven't been reprimanded yet...
Emoore hints that y ...

Ah Christmas Holidays and the wrenches come out of their beds! (the rebuild resumes)

Thanks much, helpful as always!

Thinking I'm lazy... I remember coming across the sodium filled valve topic somewhere, but where...? Shortcut? How does one know whether the valve are, or aren't?
I appreciate the feedback, you two! ...

I’ve started looking into engine assemblies on a dead 931 (1981) which had a timing belt issues. I’ve seen some advice on VW flat top pistons, which is intriguing. The valves are my next question: two ...

Thanks for the feedback, folks. Very helpful advice as usual! I feared that valves/pistons would collide - as I bought a dead 931 which had suffered this fate - and thought this was uiniversal to thes ...

The timing belt tensioning pulley on my ’78 924 split apart just as I was pulling into my driveway after a pleasant cruise. I thought this was downright considerate of it, as I didn’t have to hike, an ...

This sounds intriguing. Can't say that any of it makes sense tho... I've resurrected a derelict 924, it may be still alive then... I don't recognise the locations, what's the distance, hard drive, etc ...
