Porsche smorche - I have a car habbit

[Brezzi]

Just 944s in general. You hate it, but you kind of want one at the same time. Kind of like e60 m5s.

so true! hahaha


good luck with 944 man!

[Kershaw]

I know these feels. You're in a better place now. No looking back.

It's done and I don't regret. My newest e30 is an absolute gem. Nicest one I've ever had. I may give Porsche another try one day, but my heart has to heal first.

[Bearmw]

Don't be a wimp! Don't give up so easy. You will regret

[Ether-D]

I'm tired of this car. And a pal has a 90 e30 4-door slick top with no motor. He wants the Porsche. I want the e30. We're gonna trade.

She's always like "buy shit for me n rub my back n I'll take out my dentures n blow ya". Then I do and no blowing happens, or if it does, she leaves the damn dentures in. It's discouraging.

demanding crazy bitch named Porsche.

Touched that up for you.

[Ether-D]

It has offended me with it's puking oil after I painted it's engine parts and regasketed it and loved it so gingerly. Now I'm giving it the cold shoulder. So far it hasn't accomplished anything. I'll go back to it when I have mustered the energy to rip it back down to the front main seal. I just don't wanna right now.

I kinda need to slap some parts on the vert before Brodeo anyway. And that car always pays dividends when I caress it properly. So on to some satisfaction from a loyal lover. Then back to this horny crazy bitch named Porsche.

Any progress on this thing? I want to see you succeed in bringing this thing back to life.

I've always liked porsche 944's. The closest I've come to porsche ownership is the type 4 engine used in vw buses from 72-79, which also found it's home in 914's. I rebuilt one for my bus a few years ago, and it was frustrating paying porsche prices for aircooled VW power. 3k+ to get less than 70hp. Not a great investment on my part.

But that's neither here nor there.

I'm motivated again and out there playing with the 944. Here's what I know:
If I have the plugs out and I'm cranking it with the starter with the oil filter and OPRV in place, the oil pressure quickly rises to 8+bar on my gauge. This can't be right. I trust the gauge because of the front main gushing oil.

If I remove the oil pressure relief valve (OPRV) and leave the oil filter in place and crank it, I get 0 bar (to be expected).

If I leave the OPRV and remove the oil filter, I get 0 bar (to be expected), but plenty of oil comes out of the filter housing.

My blockage is in the filter or beyond the filter I suspect.

It seems very unlikely to be in the filter, but where beyond the filter would/could it be blocked? I'm losing my love for this damn thing…

[Ether-D]

So when I start it up, it runs on 2 cylinders. No big deal, I can figure that out. But there's the whole 10bar oil pressure that I'm not used to. And the front main seal hemorrhaging oil at about a pint per minute. I'm pretty sure neither of those things are right. Do any of you guys have any ideas that I can immediately shoot down?

[Ether-D]

Love your ingenuity brother!!

Thanks!

Get it goin! awesome driving position in a chassis loves fast sweepers. I had a clean 1977 924 as my DD for a few years, and it was a joy!

I'm probably just gonna sell it when it's done. Maybe I'll wait until spring…

Good job, Lemon.

My advice to you, live every week like it was shark week.

[Andy.B]

Suck it, nerds.

Good job, Lemon.
