My favorite Porsche engine, the cam gearing reminds me of my days racing a Ducati Diana, spent a lot of time at Dan’s Cycles, building the motor.
I thought someone might enjoy. https://www.enginebuildermag.com/2026/01/2-...3914G1587689G5W |

The 4 cam engine is certainly a work of art
and the prices reflect that.. Unfortunately the only 4 cam engine I can afford is in this.  |

Jeff is truly one of the masters now, he was trained by the true master, Gerry McCarthy, who went to Carrera School in the back of Hoffman's and worked on everything! If you look close you can pick a very young Jeff out of this picture.

Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed seeing the insides of the 4cam.
We love our Carrera S with its 4 cams, hemi heads, and 32 valves of awesomeness. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif). |
