As an insurance policy, I am having the engine that I bought from (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/stromberg.gif) Steve Stromburg completely disassembled.
We have found some issues. Excess side play on one of the connecting rods, some of the case bolts missing, over tightened, and some not tightened at all. I don’t think the rods were refurbished. We will be taking them out and throughly go over them. White lithium grease is everywhere. The oil pump was had a fiber gasket and an o-ring seal and the screen was not installed. The heads look good we will be flow testing and cmpletely look them over in detail. There are stainless steel valves - 48mm exhaust with 44 or 45mm intake with heavy duty springs (double springs) and the lifters are ceramic. He used standard adjustment screws. I am wondering if the adjustment screws should be replaced with 911 swivel screw? What are your suggestions? Thank God I took the extra step to open this engine up. It would have been a bigger mess if I had just run it as a “turn key”. To say the least this was one sloppy engine build. Thanks Azbill |

doubt it has 48mm exhausts... prolly 48 intakes and 38 exhausts (biggest ive seen done)
to go swivel feet you need 1.7 rockers....and machine them. what oil pump did he use? no watch this. pull it and see the TANG that goes into the cam.... is it nearly non existant? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) take pics. EVIDENCE |
