I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

that's true, but usually in my case something always goes wrong

so i figured out what the valve noise was... and this is how dumb i am.
i installed the lost motion assemblies upside down. i just put them in as they were laying in the box. stupid me.
its running great now.

Re: can't get oil pressure
oil change, battery, and ripped out the interior. filled it with gas to see if it would crank. it did crank but put a huge puddle of gas under the car. I didn't investigate it further but i think the fuel line is busted right at the carb and thats why it didn't start.Secret Squirrel wrote:do anything with that super beatle yet?
it will be a next summer project. maybe i will gather parts during winter
