Hello All,
A while back I related my experiences working on my GT6mk3. I
recieved some great suggestions (thanks) which I intend to
follow.
One suggestion was to take my diff down to a qualified shop.
Sounds like good advice so the obvious follow up question is
"Where?"
I really don't seem to have a good track record of choosing shops
with the "look in the phone book" method. I seem to do alright,
though, using the "ask friends" method. So, to all my bestest
buddies out in SOL land, do you know of any competent brit-car
mechanics/shops in the Los Angeles Area? I am willing to drive
as far south as Orange County and as far north as Santa Barbara.
I just want to find a shop where I can leave pieces of my GT6 and
I can feel that they are in good hands. I figure that over the
next few months I will have the diff rebuilt and I will probably
need lots of machining done on the engine. I don't really want
to take it to "Billy Bob's Machine Shop: We can cut lots of
metal off of anything!" I want to find a guy who goes "Oh, a GT6
engine!" when I carry in the hunk of metal.
Also, I DID put Sta-Lube GL5 in the tranny. It is funny how the
knowledge gained working on one car (Porsche 914) can really
screw you up working on a brit car. OOOOps, It's coming out soon.
Do I need to flush out any residue before I put in something
like Redline MTL?
Thanks
Tim, in Edwards AFB CA
