Years ago, on a show dealing with Porsches, I heard a touch up guy talking about the proper way to do touch ups. The most common mistake is to use a brush. He...
I removed my fuel tank and restored it. I removed a piece that resembles a wire coat hanger that I belived hung down and acted as retaining clip! I know I...
Here are all of the Syncro Cup Challenge videos available now of individual driver runs. There is also a video at the end of the awards ceremony where...
I believe that holds up the coolant lines (so that they don't dangle down and hit the passenger side half shaft. Should be a couple of holes in that sheet...
thanks - will do - so no pre-sanding or anything, just fill in the scratch using the toothpick/paint and then wait a week or two (or more) and buff out later? ...
There is a wire retainer that goes between the tank straps that appears to hold back the tank insulation. It is a little over a foot long if bent straight, it...

OK, here is the mystery of the day! 1990 Syncro Westy with 170,000 miles.I am second owner. New waterboxer engine (tip of the hat to Joe Schoeningh of Europro...
New info: Paul Curtis (the mechanic recommended by someone here) stopped by and listened to the engine. He said he didn't think it was as major as my fears...
Most gear whines are not intermittent and are caused by bearings going bad. 4th (yes, it is a 4 speed with a Granny) backs up to the gear carrier housing and...
I'd drive it with the drive shaft removed. I just went through this with a syncro .. noisy under load in all forward gears. Quiet when decelerating or no...
I reinstalled the push rods and adjusted them, started the engine and it still has the banging noise. I took off all of the fan belts to eliminate any broken...
I would suggest getting a good used engine. They can be had for a good price and will reduce your down time, out of pocket expense, etc. You have already said...
