(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I have dropped the engine and tranny and now have gone down as far as the piston cylienders abd heads, there were no gaskets on then at all the push rod tubes had orange silicone on the seals some were just o-rings not for the porshe itself some were some other kind of seals. I ordered a complete set from pelican parts, the 1st Question is this, when i took off the drivers side head one of the fins on cylender 4 partially broke off about 4 " of it, will that effect the cooling of it. 2nd question the pistons in cylender 2&4 and the valves are clean, the 1&3 piston heads have carbon bild up on top of the piston and valves cylender walls are smooth as a baby's butt, should I take the piston cylenders off and have them polished and cleaned or scrape off the carbon build up and put back togeather I dont have the ring compressor to put them back on. there were a lot of things that i saw that was not right or missing. any suggestions would be appreciated.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I wouldn't have got this far without my haynes book! the thing I am most concerned about is the 1&3 pistons w/ all the carbon build up have not taken off the cylinders, will take a brush and wd-40 then simple green to clean off the lower portion of the engine have already got the top part cleanned off. I'm this far I do probly need to put new rings and pins in the pistons do You guys agree? I do have more pic's of everything before the tear down the drivers side was also filled with oil and dirt. will not put those gasket rings in did come with the kit, another question I have is the kit has red gaskets 8 of them and green gaxkets 8 of those are those for the oil tubes? the red's are i know?
the head gaskets or the for the heads were not on the car what you see in the pics was all that was there. |
