I made some more progress today though only a little.
Head studs, head and red wrinkle on the valve cover

ahh you guys are crazy, so many people on here thread in every head stud then slide the head on!

I swear people do it cuz it looks cool lol.
It makes it harder, even if theyre undercut. Especially with one person. Not trying to razz on you but they do have allen heads built in for a reason. :woowoo:

[glibobbo21]

Oh, and did you get your ebay EM milled flat because mine was like a banana. It was at least 1/8 proud when I made mine done. If you look at it hard enough installed on the car you can tell.

Haha no not yet, but it will need help

and yes, Newbie mistake on the head studs... im an idiot - I know better now!

[glibobbo21]

Cool, just letting you know. If you "just torque it down" I'll bet it'll pull studs. I think I have a pic somewhere of the straightedge on it.

Working on the car daily, now that I've realized there are things I can do without buying more parts. I finished pulling the tranny after taking the prop shaft off for a new carrier bearing and getting fed up with the years of pentosin leaks and road grime covering the tranny and subframe. Now begins the cleaning... should be lots of fun

Also went to replace one brake line - my driver's front. The shortest and easiest to replace. Yea right! Rounded that fitting right off at the ABS controller :curses: Now I have to pull the whole controller to try and easy out or something.




Bad brake line to be replaced...


and fail.

[WOMBAT]

More cleansing today!

From blah..


To aahh


Also wondered what my wheels would look like on my former V8 8)


Drool....

[loxxrider]

Makes me second guess bagging an A8 for my dd...

[Ronald G Wainwright+]

An A8 is NO V8.........specially a 5sp V8!

Heh, I think he's fallen in love once again after getting it back and since he got rid of the mortgage and has a good job again.... yea, but I'll be sure to let him know!

[WOMBAT]

Just some random stuff...

More engine assembly


Carrier bearing replacement



And removed the old steering rack


Also had the flywheel resurfaced and the clutch arrived!

[Ronald G Wainwright+]

What clutch kit is that?

[loxxrider]

looks like southbend?

good work man, she's almost there!

[Ronald G Wainwright+]

Yes, but whats it rated for I suppose was a better question.

[dspl1236]

looks like a stage 1

love the project

[amd is the best]

It's definitely a Southbend with an SS pressure plate (higher clamp). Maybe a stage 3 disc... The 4s are feramic I believe.

[WOMBAT]

Southbend Stage 3 Daily - good for 425ft/lbs

I received my stickers from Chris today!

Yay for adding horsepowerz and supporting bad suspension geometry!

[WOMBAT]

Got the engine bay washed up and the shop rearranged.

But only pics if the car because that's what is important!

Dirty


Clean...ish

[amd is the best]

Yay! Looking good man!

[pilihp2]

it's gettin there! lookin great!

[WOMBAT]

7A cams




And cleaned up motor mounts



And together!


Clean bay


Dana made me jealous with his clean engine bay, so here's one by the brake master cylinder


Now to continue onto the next beer...

[amd is the best]

Looking great man! I was way to lazy to get in that master cylinder area, lol. I just sprayed it quick and said "that'll do for now" being that I know the engine will be out again .

The brake lines on all these old Audi's look like ass! Mine are corroded just like yours...fail Audi.

[WOMBAT]

Big thanks to Tim and Toph who gave me a good power steering rack yesterday on my way home from NH! I've been on hold while I found a replacement (not wanting to fork out the $280 for a new one because I don't have the money) and they more than took care of me. I hope to make some good progress in the coming weeks getting the motor and tranny/driveline back in the car so that i can start planning fun things like intake plumbing/IC and turbo oil feed/return, catch can, etc.

BTW, anyone have a catch can for sale?

[my2000apb]

PM me about the catchcan
