I'm worried about driving to The Vintage 675 miles. These guys take their cars to Germany.  ?

I feel ya......I don't think the anxiety ever goes away.

We completed the trifecta of land air and sea on this trip today by taking a boat ride on an alpine lake…

Here is a video of one minute of the ride thru the mountains…

One thing that has "gotten me" was when I removed my air filter to do KF work and accidentally unseated this little hose that connects from the throttle body to the air filter breather hose.  It's hard to spot, and that will cause an air leak.

 

Well, I got to it today. Double checked that port on the throttle body and it is secure. HOWEVER, I think I have found the culprit. I had missed the suggestion to check the plastic piece at the bottom of the throttle body where the butterfly shaft exits. I sprayed a little carb cleaner and got a very satisfying (and distinct) change in the idle. Anyone know of a rebuild kit for throttle bodies? When I bought the car the throttle body was stuck in the WOT position, the c clip and washers were totally rusted. I pulled everything apart and cleaned up the rust, replacing the washers and c -clip at the bottom of the shaft. I did not replace the plastic (nylon?) piece. Thoughts? I can buy a new TB, but where is the challenge in that ? ?

just found an older post from Paul W stating that I should have a cap on the end of the shaft and I do not. I'll measure and head to the hardware store. If that fixes it, well, there will be some quality booze passing these lips tonight...

This morning I did a valve adjustment. Log book shows that was 11906 miles ago and just over two years. Time fly's by. All valves were still at 0.007" except for #3 and #4 intake that measured 0.009", I'll take that as a sign of a happy engine.  My under the cover appearance is always a bit grimy but it seems to run good.

 

Also replaced the NKG BP5ES with BP6ES since that's what I had in the garage. Any reason not to use those?  Seems like I've read they are ok to use,

I don’t recall the diameter, but you’ll find plastic table leg caps in the furniture bits and bobs that serve the purpose.
