I had to remove the right hand side to get the engine in but I'am less than happy with how all pieces seal against the rubber,I have gaps around the side sections and front apron.
The front gap is caused by the engine being to far back in the car,from what I can tell the NOS factory rubber mount is the cause,appears OP's not drilled the holes in the right place .moving the engine forward will improve the fit of the tin but not much (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) The PO claims these were made from modified 911 tins using original 6 ones as patterns,the workmanship is really good but the fit maybe not so. I would appreciate if someone could show some pics of theirs or chuck me a link on this subject,thanks in advance.   |

I know of two sixes (one a 3.6) that doesn't use cooling tin at all. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

Yes, agreed....that's a really "dumb" move to not use tins on an air cooled engine. You will run it much hotter than the factory planned. There is no radiator or water cooling to help. Your sole source of cooling is the fresh cool air that comes from the top. The tins keep the hot air underneath the engine from recirculating back into the inlet of the air cooling system. |

Exactly,thats why I would like it better,problem may be if I get the tin fitting better the engine may be harder to install? There not a lot of room to get past the trailing arm mounts as is,thats why I removed one piece to get the engine in. |
