Some work done

Some specs to remember myseft:
wheels-R16, 6.5, ET49 (this is what to modify)
Injectors Bosch (060 522) 0280150431, same as found in B234L, 34.15 LBS/HR 350cc @ 3bar, 251.7 grams/min .52BSFC-est HP Duty Cycle =52.5 @80% = 62.4 @ 95% top feed high impedance.

Last weekend measured  oil pressure to check oil pump condition and overall engine condition, results:
With no name oil, bought car with it, cold 5.3 BAR on idle, hot 2.3 BAR on 2kRpm
With Mobil 5W-40, cold 5.5 BAR on idle, hot 2.5 BAR on 2kRpm
Manufacturer recommended presure is 2.7 BAR on 2kRpm, so I say success and roll on.

I placed barometer in place of minimum oil presure sensor:
 To place barometer in place I had to take off intake collector, upper intake pipes, wiring, fuel rail ..
Found some interesting part, exact purpose of which I don't know, just can guess. So what I am talking about:

This plate takes place between motor head and intake collector, it has four wires going to it, just guess those wires have relation with those four tongues. Clean plate and other bits:

And everything goes back in place:
Front view:

Also changed 2 of 3 engine dumpers, old where wear out.
Changed front axle rubber mounting wishbones and wheels joints, both sides.
Changed front stabilizer joints.
Brake disks are in so so condition, but for know I will leave them, because disk pads were changed lately.

Todo list for next garage visit:
-hand brake repair
-strearing joints replace
