Dropped the engine yesterday and starting to pull things apart - but having internet problems uploading pics.
Putting in AA's new Cylinder Heads & 96mm P's & C's. Can't wait. More pics when I can get uploading to work - downloading is fine.... GN (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/hosting.photobucket.com-21449-1659712197.1.JPG) |

YESTERDAY:
Received tools from Mark Lindner for rebuilding tranny. Thank you Mark! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Received new Heads, 96mm Biral P's & C's from AA. Boy are they all beautiful! Cannot wait to get them on the engine. TODAY: Focused on tranny dis-assembly. Completed dis-assembly with no problems. Improved on a few of Dr. Evil's tricks as I have some tools most shops don't have. Tons of thanks to my good friend (and local Porsche encyclopedia) Rick Berkowitz (RickB45) for doing at least 50% of the work with me - if not more. Dr. Evil's video invaluable. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Funniest part is where he shuffles all the parts and says there is no sense in organizing them as they will only go back together one way! Really good news: All gears & bearings look like new. Dog-teeth? Not so much. Good news is no major gear replacement needed. On to diagnosing what I need in next 2 days. Some pics below. Also pulled clutch - looks brand new! BUT, still think I'll replace it with a heavy-duty one. Flywheel & pressure-plate can use some cleaning up. Found rear main seal to also be new. Oh well - had bought new one so replaced it anyway. Now I'll have a spare. ;-) Making progress.......
