[Brat Bed Panels]

for easier access remove the taillights

 

gen1 has full length panels

 

removed the left one to clean out "bird nest" from around gas pipe and gravel from wheel well

 

thought about stashing "air conditioning"

[! replaced '78 BRAT EA71 oilpan gasket with engine in frame done!]

thanks for the tip it wouldn't be a true restoration WITHOUT the gasket :-\

 

perhaps a ea82t I am rebuilding will get the goo

 

last pan gasket I did on the ea81 brat engine which is in the '86 gl-10 turbowagon has not leaked in over 5 years!!

I am fairly familiar with pulling engines, have done 5+ different cars in various ways

 

x-mem is 4 bolts

 

plan of attack is set on 4 jackstands, remove engine mount nuts from x-mem, remove 4 x-mem bolts and A-bar, then remove 12? oilpan bolts

[! replaced '78 BRAT EA71 oilpan gasket with engine in frame done!]

could I also LOWER the crossmember?

[! replaced '78 BRAT EA71 oilpan gasket with engine in frame done!]

YES, it is the oilpan gasket leaking

tightened the bolts, but it still leaks about 2 qt in 300 miles

 

is it possible to replace the oilpan gasket without pulling the engine?

[Rite Fit Oil Pump Wrenches]

don't bother, there is no torque spec

just put them on tight as possible by hand and remove with filter pliers

 

wv 1.6 diesel requires a torque wrench to prevent leakage

[More choke wires things....]

Nope

 

charge relay contact points

[Could use some help with identification]

in '78 fsm there is a sketch of one for when removing headliner from coupe, remove windshield

 

Attn. POOPARU: I would also like a set of decals that say four wheel drive in the style of front wheel drive fender badges
