called a "Tap Guide" and it sits square on the surface of the engine (or part that you are trying to "re-tap") as you turn the tap into the middle of it. As long as the guide remains flush with the surface while you are turning the tap, the threads will be square. As far as sourcing the Time Serts, the best place to get the exact size you need, etc. is directly from the manufacturer as you canby MauriceonLongIsland - Main Forum
TimeSert is that they sell a tool with it which insures that you are going in completely square. Regards, Maurice.by MauriceonLongIsland - Main Forum
quite excellent. It's a little more expensive, but it is foolproof and doesn't require Loctite. It relies on a proprietary tool that literally expands the bottom threads to lock it in place, and the surface portion has a flange that ensures that it won't go winding down into the newly threaded hole. I became acquainted with this little gem when I learned about it from Gundo. At the time, I waby MauriceonLongIsland - Main Forum
The Porsche content...the headline in Winding Road Magazine reads: The Rossion Q1 is an intense, evocative supercar that can be had for 911 prices! Quite a machine, with a Ford/Jaguar Duratec V6 Engine with twin turbos, putting out 450 HP, with a curb weight of 2475 lbs, and 0-60 in 3.1 seconds. If Porsche made a car that was not so bloated with all sorts of superfluous amenities that somehoby MauriceonLongIsland - Main Forum
The red arrow points to the starter in both photos (solenoid of the starter in the first photo). Use the blue arrow (which points to the engine lift hook) in the second photo as a reference point. Regards, Maurice.by MauriceonLongIsland - Main Forum

Since WD-40 worked for a few days, what you need to make the repair more permanent is a spray can of Wurth HHS-2000 (which I think has now been superseded by HHK, but is still widely available). It's a little pricey but a can will last a long time and the lubricant can't be beat for long lasting lubrication. The liquid spray sets up into a sort of grease which does not evaporate and resists beiby MauriceonLongIsland - Main Forum

Quotetom coughlin OK, I've found a muffler for sale. I hope to modify it (to improve the sound of my 02). I have a Dremel tool. I don't weld. I remember that there was a way to cut into the muffler. Does anybody know where I can find that info.? Can I get the mufler off my car and the modified one on without welding? Other issues/problems? Thanks, Tom You can remove the old muffler off andby MauriceonLongIsland - Main Forum

If the fabric has not pulled away from one of the three gaskets that hold the base of the canvas into the rear main bow (hard to tell from that first photo), then Pedro's solution will tighten it up again. If not, John's fix will do it. Pedro is also correct that turning the 14mm protruding hex head in a CCW direction will increase the pulling force of the tension ropes on the rear main bow andby MauriceonLongIsland - Main Forum
QuoteSeaNile Seems that the car was well cared for and had all service at the local (where initially bought) Porsche dealer. All things done according to schedule, oil changes, services, brake flush, etc. So if I go back to the beginning from when I have been watching, the car was listed for $28,950 and they could come down to $28450 but that was absolutely the lowest price.

I have a fairly long driveway, about 100 feet long. That, combined with my sidewalk and front walk and my next door neighbor's sidewalk, now has me referring to the stuff as s**w!

On the plus side, I got to play with one of my toys and the plume of s**w were shooting about 40 feby MauriceonLongIsland - Main Forum
Advance planning and searching is usually necessary to go that route, though. A used engine from a reputable source of from someone where you can still verify that the engine is running before being removed from the wreck can be the ticket out of dealing with what might prove to be an expensive repair, after which you will still have an engine with over 200K documented miles on it.

getting any knock, you can see if the results are significant enough to justify a change to lower octane. As gas prices go up, which is certainly a currently accelerating trend, it may change your equation. Regards, Maurice.by MauriceonLongIsland - Main Forum

Quotejeff in VA So, I just got off the phone with my local dealer. I took my '02 in this morning because the check engine light came on (note that it seems to be driving fine). The first thing he says is "hold on a minute while I add this up." My heart stops. He says the light means I have to replace 2 catalytic converters plus related stuff for a total of $3200.
