    C4 Question..what did I miss?

    Thanks all, Parthos: Thanks, I'm going to find that tester and give it a chec this weekend. Correct pressures anyone? :shrug: Tim: I am fearing the piston may be the problem now, being in a major rush (could only use the borrowed, heated garage for one day) I did not have time to get the...

    Austin, Welcome to the II forum! It's great to see someone starting young, I started working on my first vehicle at about the same age :) I'm 38 now and still sooo much to learn :p Ask lots of questions, read everything you can, tear apart every old part you can find to see how it...

    C4 Question..what did I miss?

    Thanks, So do you happen to know what kind of pressures to expect in a normally operating C4?. I do have a MAC transmission pressure gauge kicking around, just never used it. :doh: Is it hooked into the output (forward) cooling line? and at what rpm/gear should I be taking readings...

    C4 Question..what did I miss?

    Well the C4 finally packed it in on the Ghia last weekend so I pulled it and did a quick dismantle on it. Symptoms were: 1) overheating (even the shifter handle would get warm :( ) 2) when shifting into drive from either park or reverse the transmission would often not engage at all...

    Ok, who did it???

    If all else fails there are some proffesional shops that can do magic on old plastic interior parts. This shop in Calgary has done some amazing restorations on chewed up dashes and stuff: http://www.crtechniques.com/ Just check out some of the sample pics. May be cheaper and better than NOS...

    Stereos working, but

    I recall running into the same problem when I first got my II (back in '85?) At that time you could buy a "filler" piece made of black flexible vinyl. It was textured to match the dash and looked ok. I looked around today in my parts bin but couldn't find it :( There is a surplus shop that I...

    Aarrggghh!!

    Oh, he owns (owned) IIs, see him buying complete cars too. Probably the kind of guy to buy an original low mileage King and strip it for parts to sell :damnit: Just ranting, don't know him personaly so I can't say if he's a great guy or a dick, but I've lost more than a few auctions to...

    Yah, he's been real busy on Ebay lately :( http://cgi6.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws1/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ViewBidItems&userid=vanhalen781&completed=1&all=1&rows=25 Got to hand it to him though, seems to find a lot of items I somehow missed.

    351w with decked heads ?

    Depends on how much material was removed, the more that was taken the higher compression..a good thing in moderation (with today's pump gas) IIRC every thou removed "roughly" translates to one less cc in chamber volume? Or was it every 10 thou :scratch:

    Disaster Struck My Beloved II on this Sad Day

    Best wishes on the rebuild :nice: Strange how we get attached to cars, I'm sure many of us wouldn't part with them even if we were offered above market value.
