Crankcase assembly

I've been away from the camera but have done some work lately. Here's a few pictures of the crankshaft and camshaft resting in the case. Another picture is of the heads and right side of case.

I cleaned all of the assembly hardware with brake cleaner and my wire wheel. They looked great and assembled with ease.

For assembly I use Dirko between the case halves. My 911 mechanic, John Walker, recommended it to me. I've used it on two 911 motors with no leaks and have used it here. It has a longer set up time than Locktite, which is why John uses it. He used to use Locktite but one 930 assembly took just a little too long and left a small hole to weep oil out of. 40 hours down the drain.

Another picture shows the rod ends after weighing and balancing. Another the squeeze through between the halves.

Next the pistons and cylinders bye1.gif
