The sunroof was bad enough, inexperianced that I am, it took me 2 days to get the sunroof right (diffuculty was compounded by the fact that the origional sunroof came apart just after I got it out, and I reassembled it incorrectly) However the sunroof works perfectly now so I count it as success after a fashion.
However..... the oil return line from the turbo was something to be experianced once.... I have been putting this off on my girls 740 for a year because I thought the hassel was hardly outweighed the need to check the oil every 800 miles or so. This changed when I finally put synthetic oil in it, I will be darned if I will let that oil leak out! So I went about it starting about 4 pm one day, got it off allright but had the darndest time with the fibre gasket on the turbo side... ran out of light.... Sorry dear, you gotta take my 240 to work...
So yesterday I went at it again and finished it, no oil leaks!!!! Now that is victory. A word to the wise If you have to do this.... spray adhesive on the top gasket!! Works a charm!!!! (I owe the tip to my brother who is a Kenworth mechanic and said he uses it all the time building trannys)
