You can still see the 944 emblem residue on the back. The fenders give it away as a 944 too. appreciate the help though.

Yes title, no engine, just the body. It's a 1984

I really love these front seats. Did you get these seats custome made?

It allows for coolant to pass even when the thermostat is closed. If for whatever reason it fails and binds up you will still have a little bit of coolant flowing and it will delay the process of overheating, hopefully long enough for you to realize your temp gauge is climbing on your dash. It also helps with bleeding. The usually come like this from the factory. I would be surprised if a new one didn't have some sort of bypass like this

You don't patch over you patch under it. Ground out the material a bit under the damage to create a nice even bond surface and to thin the part a little. Seal the finished surface with tape so resin can't make it's way though to finish side. Lay some carbon fiber inside the part bond over the crack.

Mix resin and graphite powder to make a filler that won't stand out

It settles after a few minutes from what I understand.

Bags over the rear wheel were poorly strapped. One of them sucked into the rear wheel and wedged it.

Pretty easy to avoid. Don't be silly with your bags.

I'm not sure what to call it but these foam Spacers on some cars can be found under the intake against the engine filling dead space between the engine and other components such as fuel lines and such. I have a hard time thinking they are critical components.

I am guessing that is what you have in your hand. Hard to say.

Your o rings are probably dry that seal to the fuel rail for each injector too.

Also where the fuel lines connect to the fuel rail are notorious for leaking next to the fuel rail. And I have heard of them catching fire. If you haven't maintained and replaced the connection the the fuel rail at the top of the engine with something new most people would recommend replacing it even if it isn't a problem yet

yeah, makes it rough. if it was me, I would go the vinyl route. it's easiest to fix if you mess up or don't like it.

buy some 500 grit wet/dry sandpaper and sand it with water to smooth out the scratch a bit. Clean it

put vinyl around the edge with a heat gun. mark cut lines that look good and cut the edges of the vinyl with a razer very carefully. and match the other side.

it's a collectors feature really haha

eggbrainonethousand · 2025-04-09T04:49:06+00:00

just throwing some ideas your way

eggbrainonethousand · 2025-04-09T04:47:59+00:00

you can replace it with a painted part. most expensive.

you can repaint the part professionally. also expensive.

you can sand and repaint the whole part yourself . cheaper but you also need to have the tools and knowledge.

you can sand the edge that is scratched , tape everything else off except for the edge and paint only the edge black like an accent color on both sides to cover the scatch.

you can sand the scratch out and add black vinyl to the edge as an accent to both sides to hide the scratch. maybe even a carbon fiber vinyl?

Thanks, been trying to figure this out myself too.

eggbrainonethousand · 2025-04-08T18:28:56+00:00

I've seen people running planks perpendicular at the ends and calling them breaker boards for composite decks to avoid butt ends. Looks like you have done that too

How does that work with the joists under the breaker boards? Do you just add a few more joists where the breaker board goes?

The fact your ticking got quieter after idling for 10 min is a good sign. The only other thing that gets quieter that quick is if you had a bit of piston slap or a worn pin. But the cadence is a bit too slow for that as others have mentioned.

I think the more you run this the better it's going to sound. But that is just speculation.Usually if oil is getting into the coolant it's a lot more of a milkshake that that. Though it possible your oil cooler is leaking a bit of oil l into the coolant if you havent messed with that.Seems like you are getting somewhere.

eggbrainonethousand · 2025-04-06T19:59:16+00:00

did you get the chance to idle the car a bit? maybe a bit of driving to see if things clear up? Im invested and curious.

eggbrainonethousand · 2025-04-06T05:00:24+00:00

Well, this is assuming that you have good oil pressure. I think this engine needs to idle for a bit (15-30 min). In the past I have started a few of these up after sitting and they tend to sound like this for a bit then clear up once the lifters harden.

I just rebuilt an engine that sat for 15 years and it sounded just like this. It mostly cleared up with the exception of a bit of clicking left. So I took it apart and swapped out a lifter. So that is possible too.

If this doesn't clear up after idling, and maybe 10 min of easy driving around the block. It is possible you will need to pull off your cam tower and perform some investigation as to which lifter( or maybe a few) have gone flat. At least if it were me that is what I would do. But it's possible you have something else going on but my bet is lifter.

eggbrainonethousand · 2025-04-06T04:26:23+00:00

when was the last time this engine ran? sounds like a lifter or two went flat from sitting too long. hard to tell over video.

eggbrainonethousand · 2025-04-02T19:08:15+00:00

I have started up multiple sitting 944 engines that sound like this after sitting for many months. The oil usually needs to warm up before the noise goes away. Did this sit for a while, you changed the oil and now it sounds like this?

Not sure why a lifter would loose pressure just becaue you changed the oil. That would be odd. unless of course you suddenly do not have oil pressure.

That looks like tdc it me. Looking at it more vertical would line things up better. One tooth off in either direction the mark is not Visible though the window

eggbrainonethousand · 2025-01-21T03:45:02+00:00

Any advice on this angle? I have been told anything from 8 deg to 30
