What size wheels can I fit? Group: Members Posts: 4,645 Joined: 5-April 05 From: Scottsdale, AZ Member No.: 3,881 Region Association: Southwest Region |
I have this on Narp but I know most of you don't check in there too often. I thought I would put it here as well so all can see what Joe is up to.
Buying a used motor is always a roll of the dice. Mine has ran strong since Joe put it in but the smoking issue(valve guides seem to be the most common diagnosis) has become worse over time and the oil leaks are no longer small. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) So we struck a deal that has me pulling the motor and sending it to Joe to rebuild. Then he is coming out to help me put it back in(read as, he is letting me slow him down). There are added costs in doing this obviously but Joe made it more than fair and it worked out to be cheaper than having any of our local shops do the work and hand me back a freshened up motor. Plus, I get some more much needed hands on experience. I got the motor out yesterday. I will be pulling off parts that I want to pretty up while Joe has the motor. I am also going to take this time to clean up and respray the engine bay. The before photo, fresh out of the car: Attached thumbnail(s) |

You can use a 1/4" drive 5 mm hex alen socket to get the rockers. Know as a "stuby". $13 from Snap-On.

More specific question. Getting it out...that is simple. What are you using to set the torque when you re-assemble them? Just tight? (Which I can handle) or are you actually setting the torque on these? RIch |

A 1/4 drive in/lb torque wrench & proper allen end socket is a good tool. Also there is proper a sequence of tightening that will insure seal at the rocker ends ( the shaft ends do wear out). I also use RSR seals....but I'm not a "Pro". |

Just a tad less than 14 ft/lbs is correct. And BTW, I meant to ask Mr. Stein to clarify "a tad less". I don't want my engine half-assed. I went to the local Porsche shop and they did confirm that the factory manuals said a "tad" but they didn't know exactly what that was. They actually referred me to Mr. Stein for the exact definition of a "tad". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |
